View allMy dad's 80 and he had a mild ischemic stroke and mis last year. Since then, he's been using a duolin nebulizer regularly. I'm wondering if it's safe for him to keep taking it every day?
Given your father's history of ischemic stroke and MIS, continuing Duolin nebulizer therapy may be appropriate if prescribed by his doctor to manage his breathing or airway issues. However, it's important to regularly reassess his condition with his healthcare provider to ensure it's still necessary and to adjust treatment if needed.

I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?
Based on your symptoms, the white patches could be: 1. *Vitiligo*: An autoimmune condition causing skin depigmentation. 2. *Pityriasis Alba*: A harmless skin condition causing white patches, often on elbows and knees. 3. *Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)*: A skin condition causing white patches, redness, and itching. 4. *Psoriasis*: An autoimmune condition causing white, scaly patches.
