My mom's been dealing with this super sharp, electric-like pain in her right hand that kicks in every time she coughs. It seems to start at her elbows and then just shoots down to her wrists. She's just getting over pneumonia and has been coughing pretty hard. I'm really worried and wondering what might be causing this hand pain whenever she has these coughing fits. Could it be related to her recent illness or something else?

I'm really worried about my 66-year-old mom. She has epilepsy and she's been having this shortness of breath like asthma, along with a bad cough and cold. I was wondering if she could take deriphyllin along with ascoril expectorant syrup? Just want to make sure it's safe for her.

I'm really struggling with something that's been bothering me a lot. It's like my mind and mouth just aren't in sync, and I can't seem to get my thoughts into words. I find myself stuttering and speaking really fast, which makes my speech unclear. Plus, the tone and accent of my speech seem off, and I have trouble pronouncing words within sentences. It's getting to the point where people can't understand me easily. Can you offer some advice or guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?
