View allI'm dealing with a persistent cough and dust allergy, and with the lockdown, it's hard to see a doctor right now. I'm thinking about taking Montek LC tablets until April 14th. Is that safe? Could there be any side effects I should be aware of? Would really appreciate your advice on this!
Montek LC is an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist, often used to treat allergies and asthma. While generally considered safe, taking Montek LC without consulting a doctor may not be advisable. If you have a pre-existing prescription for Montek LC, you can continue taking it as directed. However, if you're taking it without a prescription or for an extended period, you should be aware of potential side effects, such as: - Headache - Dizziness - Nausea - Diarrhea - Stomach pain

I'm a 20-year-old girl dealing with asthma, and every time I use my Asthalin inhaler, it gives me tremors and a headache. I'm really concerned about these side effects. Could switching to a Ventolin inhaler help prevent them?
Yes, you can consider switching to Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler, as it is similar to Asthalin, but some people may tolerate it better, however, since you're experiencing tremors and headaches, consult your doctor before making the switch to discuss potential alternatives, adjusting dosages, or adding medications to minimize side effects.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
