Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

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.

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'm really worried about how to manage my loved one's recovery from Covid. Their oxygen levels are mostly stable around 90, but whenever they start coughing, it drops really low to around 82 or 83. What can I do to help get rid of this cough? And are there any specific foods or things that can help boost their oxygen levels and ease the cough a bit?

I recently had a chest X-ray, and the results mentioned unwanted bronchovascular markings. I'm a bit worried because this has delayed my gallstone surgery. Can you help me understand what these findings mean and if it's something serious?
