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've been having this weird cold sensation in my head, like trickling water, for two days now. On top of that, I've been getting these mild headaches every so often over the past few days. I'm a bit worried about the cold feeling in my head. What do you think I should do?

Could be a sinus infection. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours to help with the congestion and cold sensation in your head. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours for the headache. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?

Your symptoms may be suggestive of neuropathy. The cause of the neuropathy may be various reasons, which will require investigations to be confirmed. You may require imaging studies to rule out referred pain from spinal cord abnormalities or evaluation of your blood sugar values to rule out diabetic neuropathy.
