Question 1

My mom has had a cough for the last three days with a khar-khar sound in her lungs but no mucus comes out. She also feels a bit cold with a stuffy nose. She had brain surgery before and is currently taking Levetiracam, Fluxitine, and Metformin 500 mg. Can you suggest the right cough syrup for her?

Accepted Answer

For dry cough with brain surgery history, use safe syrup like Ascoril-D or Grilinctus-S; avoid sedatives and consult physician if cough worsens.

Question 2

My mom's been dealing with a migraine for over 8 hours now, and we're worried. She tried Fluner D twice but it hasn't helped at all. I'm wondering if giving her Crocin 650 or Disprin might be more effective. Which one do you think would work better? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

If your mother has been experiencing a migraine for over 8 hours and Fluner D hasn't helped, it's better to try a painkiller like Crocin 650, as it's typically effective for headaches. Disprin (aspirin) may also work, but it could irritate the stomach. If her symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Question 3

I've been feeling really dizzy and I've learned it's due to functional vertigo. Could you suggest some exercises or things I can do to help improve this? I'm kinda worried and want to make sure I'm handling it right.

2. _Subsequent follow-ups_: After the initial follow-up, schedule lipid profile tests every 3-6 months to monitor cholesterol levels and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
3. _Annual check-ups_: Once cholesterol levels are stable, annual check-ups can help maintain optimal cholesterol levels.
