I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?

View allMy mom's been dealing with a migraine for over 8 hours now, and we're worried. She tried Fluner D twice but it hasn't helped at all. I'm wondering if giving her Crocin 650 or Disprin might be more effective. Which one do you think would work better? Any suggestion would be really appreciated.
If your mother has been experiencing a migraine for over 8 hours and Fluner D hasn't helped, it's better to try a painkiller like Crocin 650, as it's typically effective for headaches. Disprin (aspirin) may also work, but it could irritate the stomach. If her symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about this intense burning sensation my dad is experiencing throughout his entire body. It seems to get worse at night, to the point where he finds it unbearable. He's already taking medication for a prostate issue, high cholesterol, and a sleep aid, plus blood pressure medicine. We've found out his calcium, potassium, and sodium levels are really low. Could these low levels be causing the burning sensation, or is it related to his other health conditions? I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.
