Brief Answer:
Granuloma means old healed infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and CT scan findings.

I would like to reassure you that these CT scan findings do not represent any serious disease.

Calcified granuloma suggests an old healed infection, most often caused by tapeworm infection. Since the worm has already healed, no specific treatment is needed at present.

Headache would get better with medications.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Brief Answer:
Following are the Do's and Don'ts

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

Your headache type seems to be migraine-type. Following measures would help you get rid of headaches:

1. Avoid fasting or delayed meals. Always eat on time.

2. Ensure good sleep of 7-8 hours every night.

3. Avoid stress and tension.

4. Avid direct exposure to sunlight or loud noise.

5. During road travel, drink plenty of fluids/juice, etc and keep well hydrated.

If there is headache, you can take NAPROXEN tablets for relief of headaches.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
