I've been on Montek LC for about a month to manage my runny nose and allergies. My doctor suggested that I gradually reduce my dosage before stopping completely. Can you give me some guidance on how to taper off Montek LC safely?

Typically, you can gradually reduce the dose over a period of time to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or recurrence of symptoms. For example, if you were taking one tablet daily, you may reduce it to one tablet every other day for a week, then one tablet every two days for another week, and so on until you can safely stop taking the medication. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and not to abruptly stop Montek LC to avoid any adverse effects. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to consult your doctor for further advice.

I'm having this issue where every time I sleep, whether it's at night or even a nap during the day, I wake up with a runny nose for about an hour and end up sneezing occasionally. I've tried taking a lot of different medicines but nothing's really worked. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with sudden sneezes and itchy eyes for the past year. It always seems to come back after the meds wear off. I'm a bit concerned and curious about why this keeps happening. Is there something more I should be doing, or is it just allergies acting up?

A small cut in the uvula can be painful. Gas and acidity might be contributing factors. Consult a doctor or an ENT specialist for proper evaluation. In the meantime: - Gargle with warm salt water - Avoid spicy, acidic, or sharp foods - Try antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta Do not self-medicate. A professional diagnosis will guide appropriate treatment.
