I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days. I tried taking Monteklc, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any idea why it might not be working and what else I could try for relief?

Since Montek-LC (a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast) is primarily an antihistamine and anti-asthmatic medication, its effectiveness for throat pain may be limited; consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and alternative treatments, such as antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected, or pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help alleviate throat pain.

I'm really concerned about my 10-year-old daughter. She has this adenoid issue, and the problem is mainly at night when she starts breathing through her mouth as she sleeps. During the day, everything seems normal. Is there a way to treat this with medicine instead of surgery?

Prolonged mouth breathing would cause Dryness of mouth,dental caries etc., surgical correction is the treatment of choice better plan for surgery.
