Suggest Remedy For Hot Flush

My 97 year old mother has been suffering with feeling flushed, but has a below normal temperature-she has had below normal temps all her life. But this hot flushed feeling in her face has been going on for about 5 days. We treat it with cold packs on her head and Tylenol, but it persists. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hot flush. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like The exact cause of hot flashes is likely related to several factors. These include changes in reproductive hormones and in your body's thermostat (hypothalamus), which becomes more sensitive to slight changes in body temperature. Hot flashes may be a side effect of some prescription medications like Raloxifene or tamoxifen . You may also feel flushed after taking tramadol, a prescription pain reliever. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor will take history , check vitals and treat it accordingly . Doctor may refer you to endocrinologist for hormonal problem . For now avoid spicy food and also avoid caffeinated products .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
