Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Right Side Of The Body
My son was taken to the ER yesterday because he lost the sensation of feeling temperature or pain in his right arm and most of the right side of his body. I am waiting for him to meet with a neurologist, but I am concerned with how to help him cope with it until we know what is causing it and if it can be fixed.

Hello,
I would explain that his symptoms could be related to a stroke or any other brain disorders (MS,etc.).
For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan or MRI (which is a more accurate test compared to the CT scan), in order to determine the possible cause underlying his complaints and conclude if it can be fixed or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
