Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It is 30 point questionnaire to assess the cognition level of a person. It includes assessment of orientation to time (5 points), orientation to place (5 points), registration (3 points), attention and calculation (5 points), recall (3 points), language (2 points), repetition (1 point) and complex commands (6 points). Any score of 24 or above indicates normal cognition. Below this, scores can indicate severe (≤9 points), moderate (10–18 points) or mild (19–23 points) cognitive impairment.

I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with burning sensations in my soles for about 4 to 5 years, and I often feel really exhausted. I'm worried because I've also noticed other things like a layer on my tongue when I wake up, losing hair, difficulty focusing, occasional dizziness, and memory issues. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

I've been dealing with some really annoying symptoms lately. Just a day ago, I had this crazy high fever of 103.6 and it came with loose motions. The fever went down after a day of rest and taking just 2 crocins. But now, a day later, something odd is happeningI can't seem to remember names or strings of characters that I used to know. I initially shrugged it off, thinking I was overthinking it, but it's been a constant thing throughout the day. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on here?

In most cases, memory issues after a high fever and loose motions are temporary and are often related to post-viral fatigue, dehydration, or the body recovering from the stress of illness. However, if the symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other concerning signs, its important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying causes. In the meantime, staying hydrated, getting proper rest, and maintaining a balanced diet will help support your recovery.
