Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a stuffy nose, heavy head, and mild fever between 99.4 to 100.4 for the past couple of days. I think it started after being around smoking at a lounge party. Tonight, I took a crocin to help with the fever and a Montek LC for the stuffy nose and allergyIve used these before. Im also on hypertension meds, specifically Concord in the morning and Stamlo at night. Could you let me know if it's okay to mix Montek LC with these hypertension medications?

Accepted Answer

It is generally safe to take Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) for stuffy nose and allergy symptoms along with your hypertension medications. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding any new medication to your existing regimen, especially if you have any concerns about potential interactions. In this case, since you have taken Montek LC in the past and are currently on Concord 2.5mg in the morning and Stamlo 5mg at night for hypertension, there are no known major interactions between Montek LC and your hypertension medications. Just ensure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects after taking Montek LC alongside your hypertension medications, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm really worried about my ear. A couple of days ago, while using a q-tip, the bud came off in my right ear. I'm 13 and after trying to flush it out with water, it didnt work and wasn't too painful, but after a visit to the local clinic, the doctor ...

It sounds like you may have some irritation or injury in your right ear from the q-tip incident. To help with the pain and potential infection, you can use antibiotic ear drops like Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone drops.  It's important to keep the ear dry and avoid inserting anything into it. If the pain and bleeding persist, you should follow up with an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been dealing with cough syncope. Initially, he was told to take Sercef CV 500 with Cefuroxime and Clavulanic Acid for six days, but that didn't help. Then a pulmonologist switched him to Azee 500 Azithromycin ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your friend is experiencing a persistent cough despite trying different medications. Since the chest x-ray and haemogram reports are normal, it's important to consider other possible causes for the cough. In this case, I would recommend consulting with a pulmonologist or a respiratory specialist for further evaluation. Your friend may benefit from a different approach to treatment, such as trying a different class of antibiotics or considering other underlying conditions that could be contributing to the cough. Additionally, it's important to monitor for any concerning symptoms such as fainting episodes and seek medical attention promptly if they persist. In the meantime, your friend can continue taking the prescribed medications as directed and ensure proper rest and hydration.
