My 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 got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?
