View allMy grandmother has been taking Montek LC for about three months now because she started having a mild cough after her cardiac surgery, due to pleural effusion. I'm just a bit worried about whether there might be any side effects from using this medication for such a long period. Also, can it affect her kidneys in any way?
Montek LC, which combines montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally safe for long-term use, but prolonged use can sometimes cause mild side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, or dizziness. It is not typically harsh on the kidneys, but it's important to monitor kidney function, especially in older adults, during extended use. Regular follow-ups with her doctor would be helpful.

I've been having shoulder pain and pain in my left arm for a week now. It feels like indigestion with belching, and I'm getting really worried. Could this be related to my heart or is it just acidity? Please let me know what's going on, I'm feeling pretty tense about it.
It is important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially when experiencing shoulder pain and left arm pain. However, considering your symptoms of indigestion and belching, it is possible that this could be related to acidity as well. You may try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals for relief from acidity symptoms. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg for pain relief in the shoulder and arm. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.

My mom had an angioplasty a couple of weeks ago, and she's also got type 2 diabetes. I'm really concerned because her ESR level is at 78. Should I be worried about this? Does it mean something serious?
An elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 78 mmhr indicates inflammation or infection in the body, which can be concerning, especially in a patient who has recently undergone angioplasty and has type 2 diabetes. While a high ESR is not specific to one condition, it warrants further investigation to identify the underlying cause. It's important to consult with your mother's healthcare provider to determine the source of the elevated ESR and address it appropriately. They may recommend additional tests or treatments based on their findings. Close monitoring and managing her diabetes effectively are also crucial to avoid complications.
