I've been getting these bad headaches every time I take a head bath, and it doesn't matter if the water's hot or cold. Sometimes the pain's so intense that I even feel like throwing up. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The recurring headaches triggered by taking a head bath, regardless of water temperature, could be related to various factors, including scalp tension, sinus pressure, or sensitivity to shampoo or water pressure; consider trying the following: use gentle, fragrance-free shampoo; warm up your scalp with a gentle massage before washing; avoid using hot water, which can cause blood vessels to dilate and lead to headaches; try taking breaks during the bath to relax and breathe deeply

View allMy brother has swelling in his head due to a blood clot in his brain. One doctor recommended surgery to control the swelling, but another said medication would be enough. Right now, he seems physically fine but is very weak internally and has lost a lot of his memory he can't name simple objects like a fan or spoon and doesn't even remember the difference between singular and plural. The doctors say it's a case of forgetfulness. How long will his recovery take, and will he ever regain his memory like before?
Recovery time after a brain blood clot can be variable, ranging from months to even longer. While some individuals regain most of their memory and cognitive function, the extent of recovery depends on the location, size, and duration of the clot, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment. The memory loss your brother is experiencing, which may be described as forgetfulness, could be a symptom of temporary brain damage or a sign of ongoing brain function recovery

My dad had a stroke and the doctors found an infarction in his brain. Now they're recommending surgery is this really necessary or are there other options we should consider first?
It's understandable to be concerned about your dad's health and the recommended surgery. Not all stroke treatments require surgery, and other options should be considered first. Surgery is usually reserved for specific situations, especially those related to bleeding or severe blockages in the brain.

I'm a 38 year old with severe neck pain that's shooting down into my left hand my doctor suggested a steroid course starting with predmet 16mg and tapering off but mentioned surgery as the next step if that doesn't work does this sound like the right approach for my condition
Usually steroid course is given in carpal tunnel syndrome patients. First of all if ur symptoms r due to CTS ,then only it will work.it will be diagnosed based on nerve conduction studies done by trained neurologist.(surgery will be dobe for severe CTS ) If due to cervical spondylitic( needs mri c.spine ) radiculopathy,stetoids wont be of use . So better to be seen by neurologist and get evaluated properly.(surgery will be done in only severe compression
