My dad has been in a coma for 50 days after brain hemorrhage surgery and keeps coughing a lot. The nurses are giving him duolin LD nebulization twice a day and doing suctioning, but the coughing won't stop. Should we keep giving him the duolin LD or is there something else we can try?

Dear to continue or stop some medicine we require direct clinical examination but in coma pts this problem will be continuous. Duolin won't help much but it will support

View allI'm really concerned about this intense burning sensation my dad is experiencing throughout his entire body. It seems to get worse at night, to the point where he finds it unbearable. He's already taking medication for a prostate issue, high cholesterol, and a sleep aid, plus blood pressure medicine. We've found out his calcium, potassium, and sodium levels are really low. Could these low levels be causing the burning sensation, or is it related to his other health conditions? I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.

I've been experiencing a regular tingling sensation in my hands and feet, and I'm getting really concerned. I'm not diabetic, so I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this. Also, I've noticed some numbness in both my hands and feet. Could this be something serious, or is it a common issue? Any insights on what could be going on would be really helpful.
Thats could be parasthesia,visit Neurophysician for evaluation and appropriate management.
