I've been dealing with a cold and cough recently. My nose was stuffy and stayed that way for about three days, plus I had a burning throat for two days. I also had a fever for a day, but now, it's just the cough that's bothering me. It feels like there's mucus getting stuck in my throat. No other symptoms otherwise, but yesterday morning, some blood appeared in my sputum when I woke up. I had to cough pretty hard to clear my throat, but then I noticed a bit of blood again in the evening. Is this something I should be worried about? I took paracetamol and different cough syrups initially and montelukast for four days. I'm not taking any medicine now. Do you think I need to take something else?

My wife has been on Akurit4 for her TB treatment, and it seemed to be going well, but now, on the 15th day, she's got this fever of 102 again. Is this something that happens during TB treatments? When can we expect the fever to go away?

I'm dealing with this thing called bronchitis asthma for like 8 years now. Currently, I'm on Montair LC and using Maxiflow 250 rotacaps. Here's the thingwhenever the weather changes, I end up with this nasty cold and a bad cough with green phlegm, and there's a little chest pain too. The Montair LC helps a bit, but it makes me super sleepy afterward. Could you recommend something that might help without making me feel so drowsy?

I've been trying to shake off a chest congestion issue that popped up about ten days after I recovered from COVID. My symptoms were pretty mild initially, and I got through it while isolating at home. But now, I'm dealing with this annoying chest noise when I breathe, and it's making me cough. What's weird is that this didn't happen at all when I was still positive for COVID. I was taking MucidayN daily for about 23 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Is there another medication you think might work better, or should I just keep going with MucidayN? Any advice would be appreciated!

take tablet mucinac for 5 days, twice a day
