My mom has had a cough for the last three days with a khar-khar sound in her lungs but no mucus comes out. She also feels a bit cold with a stuffy nose. She had brain surgery before and is currently taking Levetiracam, Fluxitine, and Metformin 500 mg. Can you suggest the right cough syrup for her?

For dry cough with brain surgery history, use safe syrup like Ascoril-D or Grilinctus-S; avoid sedatives and consult physician if cough worsens.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with pudendal neuralgia symptoms for the past four years, and recently after getting my wisdom teeth removed on the right side, my lingual nerve seems irritated. I have this burning feeling and some numbness on the right side of my tongue. Is there any effective treatment for this? I've also noticed that taking methylcobalamin makes my pudendal nerve issues worse. Do you have any advice or suggestions?

Can you tell me if a cervical disc bulge can be treated without surgery based on my MRI report I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first

Cervical epidural injections are a well-established non-surgical treatment for C5-C6 disc bulge. They involve the injection of corticosteroids directly into the epidural space near the affected nerve roots. These injections provide both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
