My father has had a cough for a week and has been taking Azithromycin, Vitamin C, and Zincovit for three days; since his cough is only slightly better, should he continue taking Azithromycin for two more days and start taking Montelukast, and if so, for how many days?

For his cough, he should complete the Azithromycin course exactly as his doctor originally prescribed (typically 3 or 5 days) and not extend it on his own. Because Montelukast is a prescription medication used for specific types of coughs, like allergies or asthma, it is best not to start it without a doctor's evaluation. Since his cough has lasted a week and is only slightly better, a quick consultation with his physician is the safest next step to listen to his chest and safely guide his recovery.
