Hello everyone. Finally, a doctor saw him. Several tests were done including were blood chemistry, ECG, ultrasound of the whole abdomen, urinalysis and others. As I said a while ago, he has low potassium and sodium,a high WBC, he has 4 gall stones, a slightly enlarged liver, and an enlarged prostate. He was diagnosed by the doctor with Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (he has phlegm and coughs) and Urinary Tract Infection (because of the enlarged prostate). There are other diagnosis but according to the doctor, these two should be the first one to be addressed. He was already given antibiotic via IV and potassium supplement. He is more responsive now, almost same as his usual but not really the usual. Hoping he will recover soon. Thank you for your warm thoughts and wishes.

I thought he had a serious infection, as a matter of fact he has two infections. I hope they are treating him now.

Yes, two infections but the more serious one is the enlarged prostate causing the UTI

@rakski There are medications for the enlarged prostate, this is something the doctor should be able to treat.

Yes, I guess so but it is doubly hard for my father in law because this is the first time ever he was admitted in the hospital

It is good that he is getting cared for now and that they know what they have to treat. I wish him all the best

Yes, you are right. It is hard to guess what is wrong.
