Question

I'm dealing with a dry throat and it's been happening for a few days now. I think the monsoon is triggering my allergies or something, and it feels like I've got some mucus stuck in there. The past two nights have been rough because I can't seem to sleep wellthe air from the AC dries out my mouth. Is it safe to take Montair LC and Alex syrup together for a few days? My doctor suggested Montair LC, but I haven't started it yet since I was hoping the issue would clear up on its own.

Question

I'm having this issue where I'm producing a lot of saliva while I'm sleeping, and it feels like my mouth and windpipe are just drying out, so I'm constantly having to swallow. It sometimes leads to saliva or mucus accidentally getting into my windpipe when I'm deeply asleep, and I wake up suddenly because I'm choking and can't breathe. It's really scary because I struggle for a bit before I can finally breathe normally again. It's making me afraid that I might actually choke in my sleep. Also, I've got this allergy to cough. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe what I can do about it?

Question

I recently visited a Neurologist because I've been having headaches. The doctor did an MRI scan and luckily they didnt find any abnormalities in my brain. However, they did see some mild mucosal thickening in my bilateral maxillary sinuses. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this means for my health. Could you explain what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?
