Hey, I've got a question about my dad's asthma treatment. He's been consistently using the Seroflo 125 inhaler and taking a montelucast tablet every night. We're thinking about adding AB FLO N to help manage his asthma better. How effective might that be and what's the appropriate dosage?

View allIve been dealing with this dry cough for the last 20 days and even after taking some medicines, it just wont go away. Im really worried and unsure what to do next. Could you give me some advice or suggest what might be going on?
Persistent dry cough may require a different approach. You can try taking Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) 25mg every 6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, you can use Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) 10ml every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help soothe your throat.
