I've been experiencing a really sharp pain on the left side of my neck that feels like being poked with a big needle. It's been going on for a few days now. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Considering your symptoms and test results, it's possible that your chest pain is related to:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Esophageal spasm Musculoskeletal issue

Consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

They may recommend additional tests, such as an endoscopy or pH monitoring.

In the meantime, continue with the antiacid and anti-gas medications as prescribed.

My daughter is 5 years old and she's been having seizures since she was nine months old. She's currently taking Valproin, Cloba, and Topamax, but the seizures still happen when she has a fever. I'm really worried and not sure what more we can do. Could you help us understand what's going on and what steps we might take next?

I've been dealing with some ongoing symptoms like forehead pressure, left nose to jaw pressure, and left eye heaviness. My ENT doctor did a CT scan and found a deviated nasal septum, suggesting surgery might help. But then a neurologist prescribed amixide h tablets, which give me relief while I'm taking them the symptoms come back when I stop. I'm really confused could this be a septum issue or maybe something nerve-related? Would love to hear your thoughts on what might be going on.

Your symptoms may be nerve-related if meds help‚Äîconsider neuro-ENT or imaging re-evaluation.

I'm really worried about my 66-year-old mom. She has epilepsy and she's been having this shortness of breath like asthma, along with a bad cough and cold. I was wondering if she could take deriphyllin along with ascoril expectorant syrup? Just want to make sure it's safe for her.
