What treatment can my 5 year old son have for autism?
The signs in kids may involve having trouble with social interactions, repeating certain behaviors, and speech being delayed. As of now, there is no known cause for this condition. Treatment can consist of different therapies such as occupational therapy which focuses on skills needed for day-to-day living, behavioral therapy aims at managing symptoms so they don’t interfere too much with life quality, or even just speech therapy if that’s where most help seems necessary. Be sure to team up with a neurologist who will assist in coming up with a treatment plan that best fits your son.

Can one dose of doxycycline cause cranial hypertension?
It is not very likely to get intracranial high blood pressure from a single 200mg dose of doxycycline. Intracranial high blood pressure is an uncommon side effect that may lead to headaches, changes in vision, and nausea. Adequate hydration can help in its prevention. Don’t forget to follow your provider’s instructions when taking this medicine and inform them about any worries you might have.

Why isn't my mom talking after fainting?
Your mom may have fainted because she was upset and worried. People sometimes don’t start talking right away after fainting. They usually become responsive again shortly. Try to keep her calm and let her know everything is okay. Ensure she is lying down comfortably. If she doesn’t begin speaking soon or displays any other worrying signs, calling for medical assistance immediately would be advisable.

Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Why is my speech slurry with hand shivering?
You might have some of the signs of Parkinson’s disease. Slurred speech, trembling hands, and tightened facial muscles can be caused by this. When a certain group of brain cells are damaged, Parkinson’s occurs. Treatment may involve drugs and therapy to help with symptom control. You must visit a specialist such as a neurologist so they can provide appropriate care for you.

Feeling Unwell, Headache Troubles
Headaches can come from many different things. Sometimes it’s because you’re thirsty or you haven’t had enough to eat. Being stressed out or looking at screens for too long can also give you a headache. Drink some water, have a healthy snack, and take a break from screens. If the headache doesn't go away, seek medical help.

How can I relieve persistent Bach headache effectively?
It can be hard when your head keeps hurting again soon after you take aspirin and Panadol. Stress is one thing that might cause these types of headaches along with bad posture or eye strain too. You should try to relax more often sitting up straight instead of slouching down in your chair for example could help out a lot here as well as taking frequent short breaks from looking at screens if this is something you do throughout the day. Visiting a doctor would be best if it doesn’t go away.

How can I recover from paralysis fast?
Being unable to move a part of the body is what paralysis is all about. It can be caused by different things such as strokes, injuries or diseases like MS. Common signs include loss of sensation and/or inability to move. Your comeback will depend on the cause; if it’s due, to, for instance, a stroke then one may recover quicker than expected but usually physical therapy is always recommended. In addition, healthy eating habits exercise, and keeping a positive mindset go a long way in aiding recovery.
