I was dealing with nasal congestion and ear pain, and my doctor prescribed Lasma Ab for two weeks. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow up with the doctor afterward, so I've been continuing the medication. My nasal congestion seems to have improved, but I'm a bit worried. Could taking Lasma Ab for an extra two weeks do any harm?

If you have already taken Lasma AB for four weeks instead of the prescribed two, it is important to stop the medication and contact your doctor to assess whether any adjustments or further actions are needed.

my brother has otosclerosis in both ears and the doctor recommended surgery is the surgery safe or are there any other medicine options we can try first

Otosclerosis surgery, like stapedectomy, is generally safe and effective, with a high success rate of improving hearing. However, there's a chance of complications, and non-surgical options like hearing aids and medications can be explored first.

I've been dealing with this scratchiness in my throat, almost like there's something stuck there, and it doesnt seem to go away. Hot water provides temporary relief, but the issue keeps coming back after a while. It's been ongoing for about three months, and I've tried medications like ZIFI AF, Citirizine, and Calpol for 10 days. There were moments when the meds helped, but the problem keeps resurfacing. What do you suggest I do next?
