I've been told to take monticope tablets for a month, and I've noticed I'm about 50% better now. But the doctor said to stop after one month, even though my pharmacist suggested continuing for another month for better results. I'm a bit confused about what to do should I stick to my doctors advice or follow the pharmacist's recommendation? Id really appreciate your thoughts on this.

I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

I'm really worried because during my GAMMCA medical checkup for the Gulf, a scar showed up on my chest x-ray. The doctor mentioned that this doesn't align with the Gulf medical council's rules, but also said I don't have any health issues from it. Is there any way to get rid of the scar with medication? I'm really hoping it wont affect my chances. Any advice?

A chest scar seen on an X-ray is usually due to a past infection, like tuberculosis, and cannot be removed with medicine as it is permanent lung tissue damage. However, you can consult a pulmonologist for a second opinion or additional tests to rule out active issues.
