Question 1

I'm really struggling with quitting smoking. I smoke about 78 cigarettes a day and it's been really hard for me to stop. I've tried a bunch of methods but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if those nictox tablets or other medications actually help. Do you have any advice on how I can successfully quit smoking?

Question 2

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on TB medication for 10 days now, but he's started having sharp pain in his back where his lungs are, especially when he breathes. The doctor mentioned before it might be swelling in the lungs, but now the pain's gotten much worse. Is this something new we should be concerned about, or is it related to the TB treatment? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

do one chest xray and proceed further

Question 3

I'm dealing with a lung infection because of the climate here in Delhi. My doctor suggested taking TelekastL and Sereflo. I'm just a bit concerned about using TelekastL for a long period. Is it really safe? And should I be reconsidering living in Delhi if this is causing health issues? I'd really appreciate some insight into this.

Accepted Answer

Telekast-L (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, but it may not address the root cause of a recurring lung infection. If Delhi's air quality consistently worsens your health, it may be worth considering relocating to a cleaner environment for long-term well-being.

I've been getting a lung infection every year, and it usually starts with a sore throat. A doctor suggested that I get the influenza vaccine. I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects. Can you give me some insight on that? Also, do you know where I could get it done in Dwarka, Delhi?

Yes ,continue flu vaccination every year .Side-effects include fever,pain at the site of injection ,rash,swelling ,headache and allergic reactions.
