Question

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.

Question

I'm experiencing this weird burning sensation that moves around my body. Sometimes it's in my back, other times in my thighs or breast, under my arms, and even in my shoulders. It doesn't last long, just a few seconds, but sometimes it hurts too. It's really starting to freak me out. Any idea what might be causing this?
