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've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?
