Question 1

My dad has been in a coma for 50 days after brain hemorrhage surgery and keeps coughing a lot. The nurses are giving him duolin LD nebulization twice a day and doing suctioning, but the coughing won't stop. Should we keep giving him the duolin LD or is there something else we can try?

Accepted Answer

Dear to continue or stop some medicine we require direct clinical examination but in coma pts this problem will be continuous. Duolin won't help much but it will support

Question 2

What is the best treatment for peripheral neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

The causes of peripheral neuropathy are vast and treatment is curing or controlling the cause. Most common causes include diabetes, infections (Lyme disease, shingles, EBV, Hep B & C, HIV, leprosy), autoimmune (Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and vasculitis), nerve tumors, kidney disease, liver disease, hypothyroidism, alcohol, trauma and vitamin deficinecy (B vitamins â including B-1, B-6 and B-12 â vitamin E and niacin).

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about what my doctor said about having weak nerves, and now I'm also dealing with a slip disc. Can nerve weakness be treated? I just really want to understand if there's hope for improvement.
