Question 1

I'm really worried about my husband's recent x-ray for his job. It's showing right hilar congestion, and although he's not coughing, he does have a cold. Do you think there's any medicine that could help, or maybe some advice on how to clear this up? He really needs the medical report to go abroad, and we're not sure what to do next.

Accepted Answer

Right hilar congestion on an X-ray can indicate mild inflammation or vascular congestion, possibly due to his cold. Since he has no cough or significant symptoms, supportive care like steam inhalation and staying hydrated may help. If required urgently for his medical report, consult a pulmonologist to rule out any underlying condition.

I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?

In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.
