I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?

Taking Montelukast (Montek LC) for long periods can sometimes lead to mild side effects like headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.

I'm really worried about my 14-year-old son's allergies. He's been coughing a lot throughout the year, and it seems like any change in the weather makes it worse. Ive noticed sometimes when he sleeps, there's a whistling sound coming from his nose. What could be causing this, and how can I help him feel better?

Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I had a sudden allergic reaction after eating some fish a couple of days ago and was prescribed atarax. I was told to take it three times a day for five days, but after just one dose, my allergy was gone. Now, I'm feeling a bit odddrowsy and irritated every time I take it. Should I stop taking the medicine if my allergy is already better?

Diagnosis is allergy .U can stop consuming fish,Tab.Atarax can be taken once daily,orally for 3 days is advised to the patient.
