How To Regain Body Balance After Suffering From Ruptured Artery In The Brain?
My son has raptured an artery on his brain, between the brain and the cerebral membrane. Doctors put him in a coma and for 2 weeks, and only after the third week he regained his conscious. After 5 weeks in ICU, they transferred him to a rehab to learn how to eat, swallow, etc. His left side was lame, but he started using the arm and leg. He has been discharged out of rehab on Friday, but is still very much off-balance. What I want to know is: Can he take the R29 Theridon Vertigo drops for the balance?

Hello,
It is a central problem and vertigo drops will not help much. Physiotherapy will be the best possible option.
Unfortunately, it will take a long time to regain all the functions. Consult a physiatrist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
