Patient's question:
I have been experiencing continuous headaches for three years. Sometimes the pain comes in bursts, then subsides for a while, and then reappears every one or two weeks. Initially, it hurts on the left side, then it shifts to the right after a period of time. The doctor said it's mild hydrocephalus and recommended that I take acetazolamide. However, this medication is hard to get.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the acetic acid azamide you mentioned can treat hydrocephalus, but this drug is almost out of production now and difficult to buy. Suggestion: You can use acetazolamide as an alternative. However, the effect of drug treatment for hydrocephalus is not significant. If necessary, consider undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunt. It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine methods for treatment, as they are more effective and have less harm to the liver. The above suggestions hope to be helpful to your condition.
