Question 1

I'm dealing with asthma and I've been taking moticope tablets for around six years now, every other day. I think I'm getting addicted because if I miss a dose, I can't sleep at all that night, which is starting to scare me. I really don't want any long-term side effects from this. Is there any way I can break this habit? Are there any alternatives that won't cause side effects? Also, for the past year, I've been feeling a mild burning sensation when I pee. A urologist said everything looks normal, but I'm worried if it could be from the moticope tablets. Can you give me some advice?

Accepted Answer

If you experience an acute asthma attack, it is necessary to use your inhaler for relief. Monticope may cause some common side effects like anxiety, aggression, lack of sleep

Question 2

I've been dealing with this uncontrollable cough and this thick, frothy sputum for almost four weeks now and it's not getting better. It's really hard to breathe with the coughing being non-stop. I'm starting to get worried. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of a respiratory infection or condition such as pneumonia or bronchitis. I recommend you take an over-the-counter cough suppressant like Delsym (dextromethorphan) as directed on the package. Additionally, you can use an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help loosen the mucus. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?
