Question 1

Ive been dealing with a cough and dust allergy, and since the lockdown, its been hard to see a doctor. I wanted to know if its safe for me to take Montek LC tablets until the 14th of April. Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

I had a chest x-ray and it showed prominent bronchovascular markings. I have allergic bronchitis, and I'm wondering if this condition could cause these markings. Should I be worried about it?

Accepted Answer

Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray can be seen in various conditions, including allergic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis; in your case, allergic bronchitis is a likely contributor, but it's essential to follow up with your doctor to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed, and to rule out other potential causes

Question 3

Hi doctor, my father-in-law tested positive for COVID today. His report says "Results - Positive" and "Bio Ref Interval - Negative." I'm not sure what "Bio Ref Interval - Negative" means. Also, is there any specific stage of COVID that we should be a...

Accepted Answer

The "Bio Ref Interval" being negative typically indicates that the test result falls outside the reference range for a negative result, confirming the presence of the virus. As for COVID-19, it doesn't have specific "stages," but the severity can vary from mild to severe, and it is categorized based on symptoms and clinical findings, such as mild, moderate, severe, and critical. It's important to monitor his symptoms and follow healthcare advice for appropriate management.

Question 4

Hi, Im using Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) for my nebulization. Can I mix them together in one round, or should I be using them separately in different rounds? Would appreciate some clarity on this.

Accepted Answer

You can mix Duolin (2ml) and Budecort (3ml) in one nebulization session, as they are commonly used together for combined bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects. Just ensure you follow your doctor's instructions and the prescribed dosage for your condition.

Question 5

Hi, Ive been an asthmatic for 10 years and I usually wake up 2-3 times at night to use my Asthalin inhaler, and also 2-3 times during the day. But Ive noticed that when I take Montek LC during sudden climate changes at night, I dont need to use the i...

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

Question 6

I had a chest X-ray and it showed fibrolinear densities in my lungs. Im a TB patient and completed the 6-month treatment 10 years ago. Im worried if this could affect my pre-employment physical exam. I didnt mention my TB history during the interview...

Accepted Answer

Fibrolinear densities on your chest X-ray likely represent old scar tissue from your previous TB infection and treatment 10 years ago. These findings are generally not active disease but could raise questions during a pre-employment exam if not explained. Its best to clarify your history if asked, as treated TB is typically not a barrier to employment.
