I'm really worried about my mom. She's constantly saying that her head is spinning and I'm wondering if that's something serious. Which type of doctor should we see for this kind of issue?

Your mother may be experiencing vertigo, which is often related to issues with the inner ear or balance. A neurologist or an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor) would be the right choice to help diagnose and treat her symptoms.

My son has been dealing with lower back pain for 7 months now, with constant pain in both legs and occasional numbness in his left leg. Medicines give some relief, but the pain keeps coming back. Since he's still young, I really want to avoid surgery are there other treatment options that could help?

Your son's symptoms of lower back pain, leg pain, and occasional numbness, especially with the duration of 7 months, could indicate sciatica or another nerve-related condition. It's important to seek professional medical advice for diagnosis and treatment, as the underlying cause may require specific management.
