[|AI|]  Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I was the doctor, I would refer him to the nearest hospital under the supervision of a gastroenterologist, who might admit him under his supervision in an ICU. Over there the patient might get evaluated on his liver status as well to rule out a hepatic encephalopathy resulting in the confusion. Further management would depend on the clinical condition and investigations reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
