I'm really worried about my mom. She's constantly saying that her head is spinning and I'm wondering if that's something serious. Which type of doctor should we see for this kind of issue?

Your mother may be experiencing vertigo, which is often related to issues with the inner ear or balance. A neurologist or an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) would be the right choice to help diagnose and treat her symptoms.

Ive been having trouble sleeping in my bed because my body gets totally numb. Its gotten to the point where Ive started sleeping on the floor instead. But even when I use a soft pillow, my head still goes numb. Is there any way to fix this? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Numbness in any part of body indicates some involvement of nerves. It could be due to bad posture or nerve compression. If it is due to improper posture, it will resolve with correction of posture. If numbness is persistent, Consult a Neurospine specialist.

I'm really worried about my mom. She was having viral and we were giving her paracetamol like the doctor said, but her fever went up to 103 on the third night. We talked to the doctor, and he told us to give her Meftal 250 mg. The next morning, she had excessive gas and stomach pain, and then she fainted and had a seizure for 35 seconds, which has never happened before. The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?

The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.
