Question 1

Can Montek LC be taken twice a day? Normally, I take half a tablet at night, but sometimes I experience shortness of breath or a choking sensation during the day. Is it safe to take half a tablet in the morning as well?

Accepted Answer

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.

Question 2

My X-ray report mentioned 'minimal fibrosis noted in the upper lobes.' Can you explain what that means? I'm a bit concerned and would like to understand it better.

Accepted Answer

Minimal fibrosis in the upper lobes of your lungs means there is a small amount of scarring in that area. This could be due to past inflammation or mild lung injury, but it generally doesn't indicate a serious condition. Its important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if needed.

Question 3

Hi doctor, I have a question about the Febrex Plus tablet. Every time I take it, I end up coughing a lot, but there's no mucus. I'm wondering why this happens when I take Febrex?

Accepted Answer

Febrex Plus contains a combination of ingredients that can help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but one of its components, like the decongestant or antihistamine, may sometimes cause dryness in the airways. This can lead to a dry cough, as the body attempts to clear irritants without producing mucus. If this continues, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust the medication.

Question 4

My father tested positive for COVID-19 about a week ago. He only has a fever between 99-100C and no other symptoms. As a precaution, he had an X-ray done and the report showed 'prominent branchovascular markings bilaterally.' Hes currently quarantini...

Accepted Answer

The prominent branchovascular markings in the X-ray report suggest some mild changes in the blood vessels of the lungs, which can sometimes occur due to infections like COVID-19. Since your father is asymptomatic except for the mild fever and his diabetes is under control, its good that he's in quarantine. Monitoring his symptoms and maintaining regular blood sugar checks will be important during his recovery.

Question 5

Is there a better inhaler than Asthalin for managing asthma more effectively? Im looking for an alternative that might work better for me.

Accepted Answer

Only asthalin is used only in a very mild form of asthma. If the asthma is not controlled on asthalin only, you may have to use other inhalers. It is best that you show a chest physician who can examine and prescribe you appropriate inhaler.
