I've been having this coughing issue for a few months now, and I noticed that whenever I take Montair LC, the cough stops but only for two days. Then it comes back, and I find myself needing to take the medicine again for some temporary relief. I'm getting a bit concerned and wondering why this is happening. Is it normal for the relief to be so short-lived, or should I be thinking about seeing a doctor for a more permanent solution?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a welder for years, and lately, he's been dealing with a cough and black phlegm for about two weeks now. We got him tested for COVID and it's negative, thank goodness, but I'm starting to wonder if these symptoms might be linked to his work. Could it be some kind of occupational respiratory disorder? What should we do next?

Patient is advised chest x-ray pa view and sputum for AFB bacilli and microscopy tests.
