Question

I'm currently taking Montac LC for my allergic rhinitis and I'm a bit concerned about any major side effects if I use it long-term. Could you tell me more about this medication and if there's anything I should be worried about?

Question

I've been hearing some chatter about whether swallowing semen over several months might bring on asthma, and I'm pretty curious if there's any truth to that. Can you shed some light on whether there's any connection?

Question

I'm getting sick every few months, and I don't know why. I'm in Bangalore, and it usually starts with a sore throat and then leads to a cough, cold, and fever. The fever lasts a couple of days, but the cold and cough can drag on for weeks. I've noticed it can happen after I travel back to Bangalore or start going to the gym, or even sometimes during normal days. I've seen a lot of doctors, even at Manipal, but they just give me meds like Amoxicillin and cough syrup without looking deeper into what's going on. I'm really frustrated. What can I do to find a long-term solution for this?
