I'm having this issue where I keep needing to clear my throat, and sometimes in the morning, there's this black stuff in my sputum. A doctor once told me to take Montair FX daily for 20 days. I only took it for six days because I felt better and stopped, but now the problem is back. Should I start taking Montair FX again, and if so, for how long this time?

It's best to follow your doctor's advice and complete the full 20-day course of Montair FX, even if you're feeling better. If you're experiencing the same symptoms again, you can start the medicine again, but it's important to consult your doctor to confirm the duration and ensure proper treatment.

My husband has been struggling with a dry cough ever since he recovered from COVID two months ago. We went to the doctor and they recommended using a Budamet 400 mg inhaler, but he's still coughing a lot, especially at night. It's really concerning. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we should be doing?

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been lingering for the past 7 days. I've been taking montair lc and alex cough syrup, and while there's been some relief, it feels like the cough actually gets worse when I'm at home. Is that normal, or is there something else I should be doing to help with this?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been diagnosed with TB lymphadenitis and I'm a bit confused about my medication routine. Right now, I take Rcnex in the morning, then Ethambutol after breakfast, and Pyrazinamide after lunch. Initially, my fever was quite constant, and I had to take four paracetamol tablets a day, but now I just need one. I'm worried because a drug sensitivity test wasn't done. Is this the right way to be taking my meds, and how many days should it usually take for the fever to go away? Also, should I be considering a biopsy anytime soon?
