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.

My daughter is 5 years old and she's been having seizures since she was nine months old. She's currently taking Valproin, Cloba, and Topamax, but the seizures still happen when she has a fever. I'm really worried and not sure what more we can do. Could you help us understand what's going on and what steps we might take next?

I've been having a cold and cough along with a mild fever in the evenings for a few days now. But whats really worrying me is this weakness in my legs and hands. There's no pain, just this weird weakness. It's making it hard for me to walk these past couple of days, and my hands are feeling kind of stiff. Plus, there's this tingling sensation in my hands and legs. Im not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure this out?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of conditions, ranging from a post-viral recovery phase to more serious nerve issues or an infection-related complication like Guillain-Barr Syndrome. It's important to see a doctor immediately for a thorough examination and appropriate tests. Please dont wait for the symptoms to get worse. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications.
