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?

My dad's been experiencing this weird numbness and needle-like sensation in the two fingers next to his thumb for a few days now. It's mainly in the tip. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

This numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers could be due to a condition called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I recommend using a wrist splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac can help alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms persist, I suggest consulting a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing frequent headaches, especially after traveling to my university or another workplace. It's becoming a real concern for me. Could there be a specific reason for this recurring issue, and what can I do to manage or prevent these headaches?

Its likely that your headaches are triggered by factors related to stress, posture, environmental changes, or sleep deprivation associated with your travel and work schedule. Making some simple adjustments to your hydration, posture, stress management, and sleep can help alleviate these headaches. If they persist or worsen, its best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions.
