Can Sinarest 500mg actually cure a sinus infection for good? And what symptoms does it really help get rid of permanently? I'm curious if it'll really help or if I should be looking at something else.

Long-Term Use of L-Montus FX and Medral 4mg for Dust Allergy: Safety and Side Effects_
L-Montus FX (Levocetirizine and Montelukast) and Medral 4mg (Methylprednisolone) are commonly used to treat allergies, including dust allergy.
Safety Concerns:
- Long-term steroid use: Medral 4mg is a steroid, and prolonged use can lead to side effects like weight gain, mood changes, and increased risk of osteoporosis.
- Levocetirizine and Montelukast: Generally considered safe for long-term use, but may cause side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth, and stomach upset.
Potential Serious Side Effects:
- Steroid-induced adrenal suppression: Long-term steroid use can suppress the adrenal gland's natural production of cortisol.
- Increased risk of infections: Steroids can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to infections.
- Mood changes and psychiatric symptoms: Steroids can cause mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
Recommended Precautions:
- Regular monitoring: Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
- Dose adjustments: Work with your doctor to find the lowest effective dose of Medral 4mg to minimize side effects.
- Alternative treatments: Discuss alternative treatments with your doctor, such as immunotherapy or sublingual immunotherapy, which may be more suitable for long-term use.

View allI'm really puzzled about this swollen lymph node I've had for 4 months. It's not changing in size at all and sometimes it hurts around my neck where it's swollen. Otherwise, I'm feeling healthy but I've noticed some weird stuff lately. Occasionally, I find what looks like black hair in my phlegm and at times, it's this greenish or greyish color. Plus, there's a kind of pressure in my throat and around my shoulder or neck blade when I take a deep breath. This all seemed to start after I got Covid in April. I also experience daily neck and back pain, probably because of my job, but I'm not completely sure if it's related. I'm just trying to understand what could be causing the swollen lymph node. Could you help me figure this out?
Biopsy,FNAC for AFB and microscopy,x-ray chset pa view and complete blood count is advised to the patient.

I've been using Sudafed nasal spray that has Xylometazoline Hydrochloride for my flu and a blocked nose, and the label says to use it three times in 24 hours. Is it okay if I take a fourth dose? I'm just really struggling to breathe through my nose right now.
It is not recommended to exceed the dosage instructions on the bottle. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to potential side effects and complications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.
