I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking Montelukast (Montek LC) for long periods can sometimes lead to mild side effects like headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.

View allI'm looking for some advice because my eosinophils are still high; the latest blood test showed 925. I finished my TB treatment back in July 2021. My cholesterol is under control since I had extra pulmonary TB in the heart area. I just need to know what could be causing thisis it some kind of reaction or allergy? I have a lingering slight cough, but it's not really bothering me. All my other tests for lungs, kidneys, etc., are normal. What should I do next?

I'm really struggling with my allergic rhinitis, and I've had it for years. I got tested with a skin prick test and it turns out I'm allergic to dust mites and histamine. I haven't found any solution that works. Is there a way to actually cure this?
Aman, to help remove the stuck sensation: *Immediate Relief* 1. Drink plenty of warm water or tea to help dislodge any remaining particles. 2. Gargle with salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 oz water) several times. *Soothing Measures* 1. Suck on lozenges or cough drops to stimulate saliva production. 2. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Try honey or Throat Coat Tea to calm the throat. *Medical Attention* If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor or ENT specialist to rule out any complications.

I'm kind of worried about my health stuff lately. My weight's at 84.3 kg and I've been having this chest discomfort for about two years now. Last year, I saw a pulmonologist and got some tests done like an X-ray, CBP, IGE serum, and PFT. Everything was normal except my IGE serum level, which was 432.2 IUml. The doctor prescribed me Tab.FM 24 to take every night, but I never ended up using it. Do you think I should start taking the tablet again if my IGE level turns out to be high? And what are the symptoms of having a high IGE level?
Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
