Is it normal to have fever of 101.2 and headache after two weeks of treatment for brain surgery?
My husband had a brain abscess and they gave him this medicine that he has to be taken every 12 hours but he keeps having headache and fever over 100 is it normal or the medicine is not working?
Some people need to read this situation better before responding because he already has an abscess so infection is already present. My thoughts it sounds like he has an abscess that is not responding to treatment and if that's the case the best thing to do is call the surgeon as more then likely he needs to be hospitalized for better management and yes this does need to happen soon because it doesn't look like the medication is working which means he more then likely needs stronger antibiotics.
Is there any treatment which has a 100% headache success?
I have heard and seen people and reports of treatments which have a 100% success for treating headaches, but with so many different headache types and so many different types of patients how is this possible?
It is not possible. Even with one specific type of malady a 100% cure rate would be doubtful, especially in a condition with symptoms which are often subjectively reported such as headache.
There is one specific frequent responder on YA in the pain management section who reports that his facility has a 100% cure rate for headaches. He gives advice such as if you live in a cold climate take a warm bath and if you live in a warm climate take a cold bath. This does not explain the phenomena of people who live in highly advanced countries, and live in well insulated and heated or cooled homes but still suffer from headaches. He also will report that he can cure all headaches with acupuncture. I am a strong believer in acupuncture performed by qualified and trained professionals, but even with well performed acupuncture, I find that a large percentage of the patients I refer for acupuncture do not receive benefit from this form of therapy.
There are only three types of people claiming to provide 100% cure rates for medical conditions: Quacks, Liars and Fools.
Each patient will have their own specific trigger mechanisms for headaches, either migraine or common headaches, and even with a reasonably assured diagnosis, there will be different responses by people to all forms of treatment. It doesn't matter if you prefer homeopathy, naturopathy, eastern or western medicine techniques no one treatment works for everyone.
