I accidentally took an Ecosprin 75mg pill instead of my Montek LC tablet. Should I be worried about this mix-up? I don't have any health problems otherwise. Could you let me know if I might face any issues?

You have accidentally taken Ecosprin 75mg instead of Montek LC tablet. Ecosprin contains aspirin which is a blood thinner and Montek LC is a combination of Montelukast and Levocetirizine used for asthma and allergy symptoms. Since you do not have any health issues, the accidental intake of Ecosprin should not cause any immediate harm. However, it is important to be cautious with medication mix-ups in the future. For now, you can monitor for any signs of stomach upset, nausea, or bleeding. If you experience any unusual symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention.

I've had nose congestion for the past three days, and last night it got a lot worse, with my chest feeling congested while I was breathing. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?

It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of nasal and chest congestion, which could be due to a viral infection or allergies. It's important to rest, stay hydrated, and consider using a decongestant or steam inhalation. If your symptoms worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, seeking medical attention would be advisable.
