Question 1

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Accepted Answer

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've had this cough for the past three months, and now, for the last two weeks, I've also been struggling with breathing. It's a dry cough, and even though I've been drinking a warm glass of water every morning and gargling with salt water for the past couple of weeks, nothing's helping. Could you please tell me what's going on or what I should do?

Accepted Answer

dextromethrophem syrup

Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. After she had severe Covid with pneumonia, her HRCT showed ground glass opacity. We did another HRCT later and it mentioned scattered ground glass opacity and something called Koch's lesion. Now, a year later, her CT scan shows a few lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm, and the doctor is suggesting a bronchoscopy. I'm confused and scared about why this is happening. Also, she has severe OSA and uses a machine at night. Could you help me understand what's going on and why the bronchoscopy is needed?

Accepted Answer
