Question 1

I've been having trouble breathing for the last few months, and the mucus is really thick and white. After I eat, it gets a bit worse, almost like my chest feels heavy. I've already done a chest X-ray and a complete blood test, and everything came out normal. With the whole COVID situation, I can't really go to a hospital right now. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

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.

Accepted Answer

It seems like your baby may be experiencing recurrent respiratory issues, possibly asthma or a similar condition that affects the airways, causing cough and breathing difficulty. Asthalin in a nebulizer can help relax the muscles in the airways, easing his breathing, but it's important to monitor his response and follow up regularly with your doctor for any adjustments in treatment.
