I've been dealing with some lung issues and recently had surgery on my nose. I used to take Seretra 80mg for my asthma, but now my ENT doctor has prescribed Montek LC for allergies. Is it alright to take both Seretra 80mg and Montek LC at the same time? I'm just a bit worried about mixing the medications.

Only seretra is not enough for asthma. You will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.

I'm a smoker and I go through more than 10 cigarettes a day. I'm really worried about the tar buildup in my lungs. What can I do to clean it out or at least reduce it?

Congratulations on taking the first step towards quitting smoking and cleaning your lungs! Here's a comprehensive solution to help remove tar from your lungs: Natural Remedies 1. Drink plenty of water: Hydration helps flush out toxins, including tar. 2. Steam inhalation: Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or a steam humidifier to loosen mucus and tar. 3. Ginger and turmeric: Consume ginger and turmeric tea or add them to your meals to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. 4. Vitamin C-rich foods: Eat foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens, to boost your immune system and fight oxidative stress.
