Could Tingling Sensation in My Back Be Serious?
This feeling may be due to; a nerve in the back being pressed on or even bad posture. When sitting or standing up you are doing so as straight as possible. Gentle back stretches and exercises might help. However, if this feeling doesn’t stop it is always best to talk to a neurologist who can give advice specific to your needs.

Can I Cure MND?
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Can I Take Allergy Pills with Gingko Biloba Alternately?
It's great that you're looking to improve your memory, but it's best not to take anything you're allergic to. Rash, itching, or even difficulty breathing can occur as allergic reactions to ginkgo biloba. You should stop taking it if you are allergic. Instead, maybe try omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, or magnesium. These are good for memory too.

Can treatment improve my daughter's right-side functionality?
Your daughter's symptoms are typical of cerebral palsy which causes a lack of muscle coordination and also results in mobility problems. Those symptoms you named are the cause of an extra motor diagnostic test to be done, like hip reflexes to be tested, and a tossed foot drop. The most optimal way is physiotherapy to do work on muscle tone or strength and loosen tightness, to let your child move properly. In the case of consistent therapy, she will grow more independent and be able to use her muscles more easily so she can join you in activities.
