Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported about your father in law. Stroke is caused by a disturbance in the blood circulation in the body. Unfortunately, there is no home remedy, I will rather recommend that you rush him to the nearest health facility for proper evaluation and management.

I hope this helps. I wish hi the best of outcomes. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be and I will gladly respond to.
