Hi Pradeep, Its very unfortunate that your dad is having a stage 4 lung cancer with brain metastasis. He also must be suffering from paralysis because of the same. At present there is no curative treatment for such a disease at this terminal stage. He is being appropriately managed already. Mannitol is being given to reduce the brain edema. You can even add tablet acetazolamide to be given through rules tube to reduce the edema further. Though it may not improve his present condition to a lot better but may be helpful to a little amount.
