When paracetamol (PCM 650) works to lower a fever, it often triggers heavy sweating, which naturally cools the body and can temporarily lower blood pressure. Since your mother is recovering from COVID-19 and taking multiple medications?including methylprednisolone, azithromycin (Azzi 500), and montelukast (Montair)?please ensure she stays well-hydrated. Keep monitoring her closely, and consult her doctor to review her progress and ensure her blood pressure remains stable.

A three-month course of Montair (montelukast) is a very common and generally safe treatment to help manage nocturnal coughs and nasal irritation. While montelukast is highly effective at controlling these symptoms and helping her rest easier, it is not a permanent cure for pediatric allergies, as allergies are typically managed rather than cured. Please monitor her for any rare but important changes in mood or behavior, and keep in close contact with her pediatrician to ensure she continues to thrive.

It is highly unlikely that your Forcort inhaler (budesonide/formoterol) is causing this, as very little medicine enters your bloodstream. Montair (montelukast) can rarely cause hair loss as a side effect, but it is uncommon. Often, hair loss in women around age 40 is linked to other factors like stress, thyroid function, iron levels, or hormonal shifts. I gently recommend discussing this with your doctor to check your blood work before making any changes to your essential asthma medications.

Since your symptoms did not improve with doxycycline, montelukast, or ranitidine, an active bacterial infection is unlikely. Your persistent sore throat, fatigue, and upper belly pain could be caused by a lingering non-STI viral infection, such as mononucleosis, or stomach irritation from the medications you took. Persistent anxiety can also worsen physical symptoms. Please be reassured by your negative results. I recommend staying well-hydrated, resting, and consulting your doctor to look into viral causes or acid reflux rather than taking more antibiotics.

Her medications?Aerocort (beclomethasone/levosalbutamol), Montair (montelukast), and Theoasthalin (theophylline/salbutamol)?are vital for managing her asthma and heavy mucus. Long-term, inhaled steroids in Aerocort can sometimes cause hoarseness or oral thrush, which can be prevented by rinsing her mouth after use. Montelukast and theophylline are generally well-tolerated but occasionally cause mild headaches or sleep disturbances. Post-surgery, her immune system will naturally recover with rest, a nutritious diet, and plenty of fluids to help thin the mucus. Gentle deep-breathing exercises can also ease her chest tightness. Please consult her doctor to safely monitor her recovery and adjust her treatment if needed.

Please do not restart Montair (montelukast) without consulting your pediatrician first. While montelukast is safe for long-term use in some children, a doctor must evaluate him to see if his current symptoms are from allergies or a new viral infection. For now, keep your sweet boy comfortable, ensure he stays hydrated, and contact his pediatrician for a proper evaluation.
