I've been dealing with this heavy sinus issue for about 6 months now, and it's driving me crazy. I notice there's not much mucus, but I sneeze a lot, even when I try using steam. Whenever I take Montek LC, it seems to help, but if I skip even one day, my eyes feel really heavy and my nose starts running like crazy. It feels like the air is somehow getting into my nose and causing all this trouble. My doctor suggested I might need to take Montek LC forever or use an inhaler to clear the mucus. I'm really hoping for a more permanent solution. What do you think I should do?

View allHow can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.
You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately

I'm wondering why I've started getting cold symptoms even with just a small amount of sweets since my covid vaccination. I used to eat sweets often without any issues, but now it seems like even a little bit triggers a cold. Could the vaccine have affected my immune response to sweets somehow? Any advice or insights you could share would be really helpful.
because of decreased immunity you are facing It, stop junk food and timely eating

I'm having these hives on my skin for the past three days. They seem to go away when I take Allegra, but come back the next day. I'm wondering how long it might take for them to fully go away. I remember having this same issue last summer. What could be causing this? I'm a 35-year-old male, by the way. Any advice would be great.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
