Rheumatic Arthritis Patient,asthma,severe Osteoporosis,loss Of Appetite
Thanks for your query.
On reading your query about your mother, I would want to share a few factors which mandate an immediate examination for her condition
1. Her age being 65 years: old age itself is a risk factor for many health conditions , bones being one in the list. Since she already has a significant past history of surgery and osteoporosis complete recovery will not be expected.
2. Asthma: since she also has asthma, this will add on to her problems, which will increase generalized weakness and problems with appetite, increased chances of chest infections, irritability, etc
3. Low immunity: due to old age, the time taken for recovery is also prolonged and there are many chances to pick up infections as well.
Since there is oozing from the right knee, this may suggest an underlying infection in the knee and if ignored she may go into a septic condition involving the whole body.
Do not wait any longer, please see a doctor soon for an examination and start the antibiotics as early as possible if it is an infection.Keep her well hydrated by giving her good amount of fluids, water, and frequent small meals.
I hope I answered your questions
I am available to answer any further queries
