Question 1

Is it safe to take Montek LC for a long period? Ive been using it for a while and am concerned if it could have any negative effects on my kidneys, liver, or any other part of my body. Should I be worried about long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Long-term use of Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) is generally considered safe, but may increase the risk of liver enzyme elevation, kidney damage, and other adverse effects, such as increased blood pressure, fatigue, and mood changes; regular monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as periodic check-ups with your doctor, can help minimize potential risks and ensure safe long-term use.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

Question 3

Is it safe for a 17-year-old to use an Asthalin inhaler? If I take it, do I need to carry it everywhere? I also read online that after taking 2 puffs, it lasts for about 4-6 hours, and then breathing problems start again. Will it cause more breathing...

Question 4

Hi Doc, for the past month, Ive been coughing up jelly-like mucus every time I cough. Its sticky and often sticks in my throat, making me clear my throat frequently. I think it might be related to some gastric issues, but otherwise, I don't feel any ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might be experiencing post-nasal drip or mucus production related to gastric reflux. While your lungs seem unaffected, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to check for conditions like acid reflux or sinus issues. In the meantime, staying hydrated and avoiding triggers like spicy foods may help.

Question 5

I recently got an HRCT done, and the report shows small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe. I dont have any health issues right now, but Im a bit concerned about what this means. Is it something serious or should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

The HRCT report indicates a small fibrotic opacity in the right middle lobe, which suggests some scarring or fibrosis in the lung tissue. While this could be due to past inflammation or mild injury, it's important to monitor and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. It's not necessarily a serious issue, but it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

Question 6

I recently had a chest x-ray and the result says there are suspicious infiltrates in the right apex, and it mentions considering pneumonia. Does this mean I have pneumonia? Im not feeling any issues with my breathing, and my chest doesnt hurt. I dont...

Accepted Answer

A chest X-ray showing suspicious infiltrates in the right apex could suggest pneumonia, but it doesn't confirm the diagnosis on its own. Since you're not experiencing symptoms like breathing difficulties, chest pain, or a cold, it might be worth discussing the results further with your doctor to evaluate whether further tests or monitoring are needed.
