I'm a bit worried because I just realized I've been taking Montek fx for the past month, but my doctor actually prescribed Montek lc for my ear infection last year. He said Montek lc would help prevent colds. I'm concerned if taking Montek fx instead is an issue, or are these two medications essentially the same? Could you help me understand if I need to be worried about this switch?

View allI've been told to take steam twice a day to help with throat, ear, and nose issues, but I'm worried if doing this regularly might lead to pneumonia in the lungs. Can inhaling too much steam actually cause such problems?

How long does it usually take for a mild eardrum retraction to heal on its own? Are there any treatments to help it resolve completely or would surgery be the only option for a full cure?
Mild eardrum retractions often heal on their own within a few months. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, more severe retractions or those that don't improve may require medical intervention or, in some cases, surgery.

I've been dealing with bad breath for a while now, and my tongue always has a white coating with white lesions on it. No matter what I try, the bad breath won't go away. There's also this weird metallic or sulfur-like taste in my mouth, and I feel like I've lost my normal sense of taste. I've had sinus surgery, an endoscopy, and everything seems fine, but the issue still persists. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
The most common cause of a white tongue is poor oral hygiene. Small bumps on the tongue called papillae can swell up and become inflamed in a mouth that is not cared for well. Plenty of germs, debris, food particles, and dead cells can get stuck between these papillae.
