I'm a 39-year-old homemaker, and I've been feeling really congested in my chest lately. It feels heavy, and I'm also dealing with a dry cough. My weight is about 58 kg. What kind of treatment or medicine would you suggest for these symptoms? I'm starting to get a bit worried, and I just want to feel better.

I'm really worried after getting my chest X-ray results. It says there's patchy opacity in the left lower zone and something about broncho vascular. What does this mean, and how serious could it be? Should I be concerned?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm dealing with a persistent cough and dust allergy, and with the lockdown, it's hard to see a doctor right now. I'm thinking about taking Montek LC tablets until April 14th. Is that safe? Could there be any side effects I should be aware of? Would really appreciate your advice on this!
Montek LC is an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist, often used to treat allergies and asthma. While generally considered safe, taking Montek LC without consulting a doctor may not be advisable. If you have a pre-existing prescription for Montek LC, you can continue taking it as directed. However, if you're taking it without a prescription or for an extended period, you should be aware of potential side effects, such as: - Headache - Dizziness - Nausea - Diarrhea - Stomach pain
