Le aconsejó ir al hospital .....
Su madre le tocó la frente a su hijo y le dijo que tenía fiebre. Le aconsejó ir al hospital que quedaba a dos pasos de la casa.

in the sentence, the subject is "su madre", but "ir al hospital" should be made by her son, so how come 2 verbs(aconsejar and ir ) can use togather?

in the sentence, the subject is "su madre", but "ir al hospital" should be made by her son, so how come 2 verbs(aconsejar and ir ) can use togather?

Answer

That's be because "aconsejar" would be the equivalent for the modal verb should so the first verb is conjugated and the other verb "ir" remains in the infinitive

aconsejó ir is like making suggestions with should go

Here is another example

Puedo cantar (I can sing)

Here the verb "puedo" would be the modal verb and the verb "cantar" remains in its infinitive form

I hope that helps =)

Answer

Le aconsejó ir al hospital = Ella le aconsejó a él ir al hospital
You can say : Le aconsejó que fuera al hospital = Le aconsejó que fuese al hospital
