Yes, your prescribed medications will work to shrink the swelling. The anti-tuberculosis medications in FORECOX target the infection, while the steroid deflazacort (DEFCORT) helps reduce inflammation, and Bekasule supports your recovery. You should start seeing a gradual decrease in the swelling within a few weeks to two months. It is very important to complete your full course of treatment. Surgery is rarely needed and is typically only considered if complications arise. You are on the right track, so please keep taking your medicines as prescribed and discuss your progress with your doctor.

Since it triggers with head movements after a cold, it might be related to inner ear inflammation or fluid buildup behind your eardrums, especially given your history of ear wax and infections. Because Vertin (betahistine) isn't helping, the issue might be Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which often responds well to simple physical movements rather than medication. We should also ensure your blood pressure on Telista (telmisartan) is stable. I highly recommend seeing a doctor to check for ear wax or fluid and to see if a physical head maneuver can bring you quick relief.

Defcort 6 contains the active ingredient deflazacort, which is a corticosteroid. While it does not directly dissolve or break down kidney stones, it is sometimes prescribed to help reduce swelling and inflammation in your urinary tract. This can make it easier and less painful for the stone to pass. However, it is typically used alongside other supportive treatments. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor to ensure it is the safest and most effective approach for your specific stone size.

Taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) and Defcort 6 mg (deflazacort) just once a week is not an effective or recommended way to manage these conditions. Montair LC is typically taken daily for allergies, while Defcort, a steroid, should only be used under strict medical guidance to avoid side effects like mood changes, weight gain, or stomach upset. Using oral steroids weekly without supervision is not safe for long-term asthma control. Please consult your doctor to find a safe, daily management plan that works best for you.

Please do not give Defcort (deflazacort) drops to your baby for a dry cough without consulting her pediatrician first. Defcort is a steroid medication, not a standard cough remedy, and should only be used when specifically prescribed by a doctor. Since her fever has resolved with Calpol (paracetamol), her dry cough may just need time to clear up. In the meantime, ensure she stays well-hydrated with breast milk or water. Please have her evaluated by a doctor to safely guide her recovery.

Your mother's risk for black fungus is very low since she stopped Defcort (deflazacort) two months ago, as this infection is typically linked to active, high-dose steroid use. HCQS (hydroxychloroquine) manages lupus without severely weakening her immune system. She is not at an extraordinarily high risk for COVID-19, but vaccination is highly recommended and safe for patients with lupus to provide essential protection. Please consult her rheumatologist to coordinate the best timing for her vaccine based on her current health status.
