Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My mother has had severe headaches these past few days, along with nausea and vomiting. I quickly took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said my mother has lacunar infarction in the right basal ganglia. Hello doctor, is this condition serious? How should my mother be treated?Doctor's answer:
The severity of the patient's condition needs to be consulted with the attending physician after reviewing the detailed examination results, such as the brain CT scan. After all, it is not fully understood how much of the area is currently blocked. Generally, this condition requires treatment according to the doctor's advice, including the use of blood-activating and blood-removing medications, intracranial pressure-lowering medications, and symptomatic drugs such as those that nourish brain cells. During this period, the patient should pay attention to rest and avoid catching a cold.
