My mum complained of severe headache last week Wednesday morning, but she was able to move around on her own, infact she cooked the food we ate that same day, she said she did not feel anything in one part of her brain down to leg which is a sign of stroke
we bought some drugs from pharmacy and she took them the evening of that Wednesday, but by Thursday she couldn't talk and walk on her own without , you just can't understand anything she says till this moment, she doesn't recognize anybody
we took her to hospital on Friday morning to run some tests and she was itted, her blood was taken for test, result came out and the hospital commenced treatment, her BP was very high then but it has come down.
The doctor said my mom has serious typhoid which might have triggered the current condition
My question now is, can typhoid cause this kind of situation? Is this a stroke or arthritis because she can't move her two legs
We are planning to bring her home because there's no improvement since we we took her to hospital, except her BP that dropped, more tests will be conducted outside and we are considering using herbal drugs for the treatment of stroke and typhoid together with other supplements.
There's a traditional angle to this problem, her own mother died two years ago and going by our tradition, a woman cannot inherit or take anything from her mom when she dies, except the one given to her willingly when her mom is still alive.
My mum collected some money from the property of her late Mom that was sold, just a little money, she handed it to my brother to keep it, but we've returned it since last week, it is a complicated issue, she actually wanted to use the money for the cleansing of her late mom's remaining property

I need some help from doctors in the house

Your mom has had a stroke.
Have you got a brain CT scan done?
Take her away from that useless roadside hospital that's treating her for Typhoid and take her to a standard hospital, preferably a teaching hospital or FMC.

Is my grandmother behind what is happening?
This is superstitious bullshit.
Inheriting things from her mother is normal and doesn't have anything to do with her current illness.
If you believe it's spiritual, why is/was her BP high?
This sounds very serious, typhoid alone doesn’t usually make someone stop talking or walking, so it might be stroke and it's better to do more tests before using herbs or taking her home.

Hmm, it's not easy to know, but it’s good you returned the money, just don’t stop the hospital treatment now, she still needs care.

I'm sorry your mom is sick and I understand this is a difficult time for you.
Here's what we know: your mom was okay one minute, and the next she couldn't move her legs or speak properly. This is shocking and new to you, and I see how it may seem almost magical or spiritual... But it's not. We aren't shocked or surprised by this because we see this all the time.
We understand why this has happened and where to go from here; it isn't spiritual or mysterious.
You are inclined to believe whatever you were told at the facility you took her to since they are supposed to be more knowledgeable on the matter, but I can assure you that this has nothing to do with typhoid. They've only successfully wasted your time, money, and some of your hope that hospitals know how to treat diseases.
It is not arthritis either because that affects the ts gradually over years in an entirely different way from this.
What it appears she has is a Stroke, just as you suspected. Most likely this was caused by high blood pressure.
How?
Well, when the blood pressure is really high, especially when it's been that way for a long time, it usually causes damage to the blood pipes, especially those in the brain. Instead of blood flowing around gently throughout the body like a steady stream, it rushes around the body like a raging storm. That is where the damage comes from.
Unfortunately, that often causes the blood pipe in the brain to be so damaged that it can suddenly become blocked/or blown and whatever that part of the brain is meant to control will simply not function properly. It's usually the arms, legs and speech that are obviously affected.
What to do next:
Ideally we would need a brain scan to confirm what we suspect (a stroke). The scan will cost upwards of 50k depending on where you are, and it will show us evidence that a stroke has occurred. Additional tests are usually needed to check on the heart, liver, kidneys, sugar level, and cholestrol , since we often find problems there in people who have high blood pressure. Those tests may be fine, and some of them may not be fine. Better to know so we can start treating early.
It would seem to make sense that the priority is to control the blood pressure, but that's not the case. Meaning: the fact that her blood pressure is better doesn't mean things are fine now.
With a stroke, it's a matter of how badly damaged that part of the brain is. If it's a minor injury then many people will recover the function over time; if it's a major damage, there's usually nothing that can be done. There's hardly any way to tell that now so we just have to wait to see how she recovers.
You will hear a lot of random ideas about some spiritual or herbal treatment, and you'll be so confused by it all you'll just try whatever you see. It doesn't help. It's almost always a waste of time and money, and hope.
What can help: go to the general hospital closest to you. They will stress you but they will help.
What does that help look like?
Well, the tests already mentioned.
Then the appropriate drugs.
And usually physiotherapy later on.
If you take her home, she may or may not show some improvement but you will not see the next stroke coming if one does happen because the biggest fear in someone who has suffered a stroke is a repeat stroke. Please go to the general hospital so your money and time spent would actually count for something.
I hope you have a better understanding now and I hope you are able to make the right decision in this difficult situation.

You've do a great professional medical analysis here,I must commend you for this
I guess you are a physician with what you've written up there.
I think that high cholesterol level do obstruct blood flow in the blood pipe expecially the ones to the brain.
These eventually increases one's blood pressure and heartbeats.
Which start affecting parts of the body that the brain controls.
Don't you think she can be taking vitamin E for increase blood flow to the brain and drugs to bring down her cholesterol level to optimize the blood flow in her system

Thank you.
High cholestrol is often a contributor to the problem, but it's not always the case. We don't want to treat blindly something we only suspect might be present if we have reasonably affordable means of testing for it first. So, the best thing is to let the doctors work it out in the hospital. if that is an option.
Vitamin E is not useless, and it can be helpful, but focusing on it in place of a complete evaluation will lead to a worse outcome. It should be a part of a comprehensive plan.
