I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

I've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?
A runny nose is a common symptom of allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, which is an allergic reaction to allergens in the air.you can try with avoidance of allergens

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.
You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately
