 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Hung: Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease that often occurs in the elderly. However, a small percentage may occur in young people due to genetic factors (5-10%). The disease is caused by degeneration of nerve cells in the black matter region of the brain stem. When the number of cells damaged more than 60%, it will appear the symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as resting tremor, stiffness, slow movement.

 My child has had a migraine for more than 5 years. So is there a way to reduce the headache?

 Migraines (also known as migrane, semi-migraine) usually occur in women, have genetic factors, worsen stress, eat more MSG, chocolate.

Currently, this is a pathology that affects many daily activities because headaches often vomiting, anxiety, insomnia. Not to mention the intensity of the headache is very severe so many patients do not understand why. Therefore, the more they worry.

 If the headache occurs 4 to 10 times a month and the patient is unable to tolerate it because it affects daily life, preventive medicine should be used.

During headaches, common painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may be used, ideally before the onset of withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or feeling very difficult. . If you take painkillers right now, headaches will be less effective. Some medications are also very effective at reducing headaches. However, the choice of drug treatment requires a doctor's order.
