My friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?

Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma‚Äîbest to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.

I'm 84 and I've been experiencing some discomfort on the right side of the back of my head. It feels like there's a noise or something going on inside. I already did a scan and it came back with Diffuse Cerebral Atrophy. I'm currently in Baharampur, W.B. and I'm just not sure what steps I should take next. Could you please advise me on what I should do?

My dad's been experiencing this weird numbness and needle-like sensation in the two fingers next to his thumb for a few days now. It's mainly in the tip. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

This numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers could be due to a condition called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I recommend using a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can help alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, I suggest consulting a doctor for further evaluation and management.
