I'm having headaches almost every day, and they only seem to go away after I take a dart tablet. Sometimes I also get this burning feeling in my eyes. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and is there anything else I can do to help with the headaches and eye discomfort?

If you are experiencing blurring of vision along with this burning sensation in your eyes, it may be suggestive of a refractive error in your eyes. If you are a spectacle user, it may be time to change your spectacles. Otherwise you may be having migraine attacks. A proper evaluation is necessary to warrant the cause and appropriate a line of treatment.

I'm really concerned because my mom keeps having this burning sensation all over her body. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could you suggest some effective medicine or treatment options that might help her?

burning sensation throughout the body can be unsettling. There are several possible explanations, and I'll outline some potential causes and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Nerve damage or neuropathy*: Damage to nerves can cause burning sensations. 2. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, B6, or B1 can lead to burning sensations. 3. *Diabetes*: High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, leading to burning sensations. 4. *Thyroid disorders*: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause burning sensations. 5. *Menopause*: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to burning sensations. 6. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticonvulsants, can cause burning sensations. 7. *Infections*: Certain infections, like shingles or multiple sclerosis, can cause burning sensations. *Medications and Remedies* Please consult your doctor before taking any medications. They will help determine the underlying cause and recommend the best course of treatment. 1. *Vitamin supplements*: Ensure your mother is getting adequate vitamins, especially B12, B6, and B1. 2. *Pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may help alleviate burning sensations. 3. *Topical creams*: Creams containing capsaicin or lidocaine may help reduce burning sensations. 4. *Anticonvulsants*: In some cases, anticonvulsant medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage burning sensations.
