My mom's been having a tough time with her asthma. Even though she's on medication, it's not really doing the trick. Could you recommend a good doctor for her treatment? I'm really worried because nothing seems to be controlling it.

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.

Why are coughs worse at night?

When laying flat, mucus gets pooled up in the throat since nose and throat are connected and this causes coughing

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been getting this slight cough since May and I don't usually cough a lot, but I feel like there's some chest congestion. Could it be that there's thickened mucus there? This seems to happen once a year now for about the past 5 years. Normally, I just take regular cough syrup and it goes away, but this time I haven't taken anything. Should I be worried or do anything different?

take tablet mucinac for 5 days twice a day
