I'm dealing with vertigo for the past four months, and it's really bothering me. Every time I change position, even for just about 34 seconds, this dizziness hits. My family doctor suggested I take Vitcofol, Neurobion Forte, and Betahistine 16, and I got some injections too, but it hasn't helped much. The vertigo seems to be worse in the morning, and I'm struggling to stand properly. I'm only 20, and my CT scan came back normal. Could there be something else causing this, or should I try different treatments?

You've taken the right steps: 1. _Cooling the burn_: Running the burn under cold water, then ice water, helped reduce the temperature and ease pain. 2. _Ice compresspack_: Applying something cold has helped numb the pain. _Current situation:_ 1. _Pain persistence_: The throbbingstinging pain, even after 24 hours, indicates the burn is likely deeper than initially thought. 2. _Cold relief_: The fact that cold compresses provide relief suggests the burn is still inflamed. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Visit a doctor or a burn specialist to assess the burn's depth and provide proper treatment. 2. _Topical creamsointments_: Your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments to promote healing, reduce pain, and prevent infection. 3. _Pain management_: Your doctor can recommend pain management options, such as pain relievers or nerve blocks. 4. _Wound care_: Proper wound care, including dressing changes and antibiotic ointments, can help promote healing and prevent infection.

My friend's been having this weird issue with her eyes flickering and randomly shutting for around 30 seconds, and its been going on for over 6 months. She uses reading glasses but her prescription hasn't changed. The neuro psychiatrist we saw prescribed serta, etilaam, and arpizol for 10 days, but it hasn't really made any difference. What do you recommend we do next?
