Hyponatremia can cause confusion and altered sensorium and needs to be gradually corrected. Even after correction, an individual's sensorium may take a longer time to recover especially in old age and hence it is prudent to be patient. But she will need to be evaluated in detail to find the cause for hyponatremia. Get a detailed neurological evaluation. Best regards.
