Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I can understand your concern. Visual hallucinations at this age and with history of multiple medical illnesses should be evaluated properly. This could be due to electrolyte imbalance and she should be checked for this. Her serum electrolytes should be done. Blood sugar levels should also be repeated in order to rule out raised sugar levels. Also get a MRI brain done. This will rule out any organic lesion in brain. Visual hallucinations occur due to organic brain lesions in most individuals. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
