I have been diagnosed with bells palsy for the past 2 weeks, so I want the best medicine?

Male | 24

For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea, stress and tension. Sir please give me some medicines for relief.

Male | 17

You may have a tension headache. This headache feels like a tight band around the head and can cause vomiting. Common causes for these headaches include stress and tension, poor sleeping habits, or eye strain from looking at screens too much. To alleviate your symptoms, you should take some non-prescription painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, get enough rest and drink plenty of water while trying relaxation methods like deep breathing exercises or light workouts. If they don’t go away or get worse it would be best if you visited your doctor so that he could give them proper attention.

Inhaling gas, taking alcohol and some drugs can be dangerous especially when coupled with lack of sleep and food. Symptoms such as headache and shivering might mean that your body is stressed. Take a rest, eat well, and keep off harmful substances.

Hi, I'm m18,I consumed edible cannabis around a week ago , days has passed by ,and right now I'm having constant headaches and in some positions I can feel the blood pumping in brain too.

Male | 18

Your headaches which occurred after eating edible cannabis could be connected with cannabis use. Occasionally, marijuana can trigger headaches as a result. This might be an explanation for the sensation of blood pouring into your brain. To manage your symptoms, do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and try to consult a specialist for further advice.

Hi, Doctor. I am 14 years old. I eat gingko biloba to improve memory but I seem to be allergic to it. what should I do, can I take these two pills (Allergic medical )at the same time or alternately? What are the doctor's recommended supplements that I can eat to improve memory? Best greats, sharifah

Female | 14

It's great that you're looking to improve your memory, but it's best not to take anything you're allergic to. Rash, itching, or even difficulty breathing can occur as allergic reactions to ginkgo biloba. You should stop taking it if you are allergic. Instead, maybe try omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, or magnesium. These are good for memory too.

I feel like my head is always hot.While studying it feels like it's totally stuffed and I need to wash my head with cold water to relax and didn't have any memory about what I taught in previous day

Female | 18

You might be suffering from stress or fatigue. When you start getting a hot and closed head and you often find yourself in a state of amnesia it might be a sign that you are tired and your brain is asking for a rest. Take breaks while studying, drink plenty of water, and give your body enough rest.

I always had sleep paralysis during sleep and I can't sleep well

Female | 18

Sleep paralysis is a condition where you wake up but can't move or speak for a short time. It's quite common and usually not harmful. It can happen due to sleep deprivation, an irregular sleep schedule, or stress and anxiety. To prevent it, try to stick to a regular sleep schedule, relax before bed, and manage stress. If it becomes more frequent or concerning, you can consult a sleep specialist for help.

Doctor, the patient has cerebral palsy dystonia. Is steam cell treatment better ordeep brain stimulation beneficial for him, Because deep brain stimulation is beneficial for Parkinson’s patients only, and its success rate is high because it is primary dystonia and he has secondary dystonia. Thank you very much.

Male | 28

In this case, deep brain stimulation may not be the best choice since it's typically used for Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy that replaces damaged cells instead could be one of the ways to do it. Cerebral palsy dystonia can cause muscle stiffness or uncontrollable movements. Always consult with a doctor to explore suitable options.
