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 6

I'm pregnant and I've noticed that one of my nipples is retracting or going inward. What could this mean, and should I be worried? If I decide to see a doctor, do you have any idea how much a hospital visit might cost for something like this?

Accepted Answer

You can take a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. It sounds like you may be experiencing inverted nipples, which can sometimes occur during pregnancy. To help with this issue, you can try using a nipple extractor or breast shells to draw out the nipple. Additionally, gently massaging the nipple and expressing milk can also help. As for the cost at the hospital, it can vary depending on your location and the specific services you receive. It would be best to contact the hospital or your healthcare provider for more information on the potential costs. During pregnancy, it's important to take care of your breasts and nipples to prepare for breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
