you cannot claim exemption on medical spendings, u/s 80D you can claim deduction on medical insurance premium and medical health check up. Now medical check up limit is 5000rs. there is no deduction on expenses like medicines,operation and icu admit etc so, see to it what you have done and claim accordinly. limit is 50,000rs for parents if they are senior citizen and 30,000 if not senior citizen and 25,000rs for Self spouse and dependent child combine.

80ddb is a special case where only certain diseases only eligible. Check whether the disease is eligible.
