My wife was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma and hydrocephalus based on her MRI, and the tumor size is 43x42x38mm. We're really hesitant about surgery are there any medications or non-surgical treatments that could help shrink or manage the acoustic neuroma? If so, what are the options?

View allI'm really worried about recognizing the symptoms of a stroke and what the treatment process involves. How quickly do I need to get treatment if I suspect someone is having a stroke, and could you explain how the whole treatment process works?
Symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and sudden severe headache with no known cause. The treatment for a stroke depends on whether it is ischemic (caused by a blockage in a blood vessel) or hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding in the brain). In the case of an ischemic stroke, the most common treatment is the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms to dissolve the clot. Another treatment option is a mechanical thrombectomy, where a catheter is used to remove the clot. For hemorrhagic strokes, treatment may involve surgery to repair the blood vessel or reduce pressure in the brain. The time needed for treatment varies depending on the individual case and the type of stroke. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a stroke, as early treatment can help minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to treating a stroke, so do not delay in seeking medical help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a stroke.

I've been feeling a lot of shivering in my body recently, and it's been making me a bit anxious. Sometimes it's like an internal shivering, and other times it's just my hands or leg that start to shake. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it or what I should do. Could you give me some advice on this?

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.
