Brief Answer:
You can wait for neuro treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the details of your wife, as well as the discharge summary details.
I would like to reassure you that there is no serious problem with her brain and you can wait for neuro treatment.
Her CT scan of brain is normal, which is a good news.
She is most probably suffering from amnesia, and would get better with medicines and with passage of time.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
That is fine.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
It is fine and there is no need of any urgent neuro medicines.
Once the Orhto part is settled, you can get her checked with a neurologist for further advice.
Headache with loud sounds is common in these patients. If it is troublesome, she may take etoricoxib tablets for relief of headaches.
