SUSHMITHA HAS A LOT OF COUGH REFLEX(UNWANTED MOVEMENTS)

Sushmitha has lot of cough reflex(piriformas movements). She looks like she is in lot of discomfort. I am not able to do anything to lessen her discomfort. Before in sidelying she used to feel better. But now it doesn't seem like that. She is unable to do the swallowing nor can she concentrate on commands. r I took her to Dr Pushpa Kini. First when I reached Manipal Dr Prashanth, Dr Yogish, Dr Raghuvanshi, Dr kashyap examined Sushmitha and informed Dr Pushpa Kini about Sushmitha's condition. She came immediately examined Sushmitha and told me there is nothing to worry and it looks like it is some form of piriformas movements. She told me that since Sushmitha's weight has also increased She will increase levera morning dose from one tablet to two. It will take care of unwanted movements she told. But she told me to get her shunting checked once. Not that she fears anything is wrong. But it has been one and half years( after shunting) so better get checked once. Immediately I called Dr Muralidhar Pai and I got a appointment on !3nth august(friday) in the afternoon.We took her in car eventhough it takes more tha one hour. He came and examined her and assured me there was no problem in shunting at all. Then he saw Sushmitha in discomfort and i told him this is the only problem I have now.He told me that he wants nurologist to examine Sushmitha and then neurologist Dr Shivanand Shenoy and Dr Rakshith ( Who have already seen Sushmitha in Manipal). They told Sushmitha has Piriformas movements which are because of brain damage. They prescribed tablet serenace. They told me to take half tablet twice daily and report to them after fcifteen days,
