Question 1

I'm dealing with a cough problem for the past 15 days. I think it started because I've been sleeping in front of a cooler, and now it feels like the cough is stuck in my throat and chest. I've tried drinking turmeric milk, eating chana, having Honitus, and even using ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be helping. The cough just isn't coming out, and now my throat is really starting to hurt. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

take warm water.

Question 2

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Do chest x ray and review for further and aslo start regular exercises

Question 3

I'm an asthmatic and I've been waking up every night 2 to 3 times to use my asthalin inhaler for the last 10 years. I also use it 2 to 3 times during the day. But when there's a sudden change in the climate at night, I take montek lc and notice that the next day I don't need the inhaler at all. I'm wondering if I can use montek lc every day instead of the inhaler. Which one would be the better option for me?

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

My dad's been struggling with a cold and cough, and there's phlegm too. He's also lost his sense of taste and is feeling really weak. I'm getting worried. Is this something to be concerned about, and what should we do next?

fever like illness can sometimes cause loss of taste, its quite normal. Take medicines to reduce fever, cold cough, it will be normal within next week
