My dad's been experiencing this weird numbness and needle-like sensation in the two fingers next to his thumb for a few days now. It's mainly in the tip. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers could be due to a condition called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I recommend using a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can help alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, I suggest consulting a doctor for further evaluation and management.

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?
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
