I'm really concerned about my mom. She had brain tumor surgery last year, and the doctor prescribed her Hisone 5mg pills to take daily since then. Lately, she's been having some dizziness and occasional blackouts. Could these symptoms be related to the Hisone pills she's taking? What might be causing this?

Don't worry, hospitalization ensures close monitoring and proper care.

Shortness of breath in typhoid fever can occur due to various reasons, such as anemia, dehydration, or cardiac complications.

Although it's true that shortness of breath typically occurs in the third week, it's not a hard and fast rule.

Your doctor will continue to monitor your condition and adjust treatment accordingly.

Focus on resting, staying hydrated, and following your treatment plan.

You're in good hands; let the medical team manage your care.

I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?

For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache. Make sure to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and manage stress levels.

I've had headaches four times in the last 10 days, and one time I even vomited. Before the headache starts, my vision gets blurry. I've taken a Saridon tablet three times, and once I just slept it off and it went away. These headaches aren't usual for me, so I'm starting to think they might be migraines. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

yes it might be migraine , if u get this next time visit near by physician
