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 a bit anxious after getting my IgE test done, and I'm really hoping to understand if the results are within the normal range. Could you let me know if everything looks okay? Also, if there are any medications I should be considering, I'd really appreciate your guidance.
IgE tests measure the levels of immunoglobulin E in your blood, which is often elevated in allergic conditions. Normal IgE levels can vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, levels below 100 IUmL are considered normal. If your IgE levels are elevated, it may indicate an allergic condition. If your IgE levels are high and you are experiencing symptoms of allergies, your doctor may prescribe antihistamines such as Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily) to help manage your symptoms. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment.

I'm 22 and recently had an allergy test done with an IGE result of 360. I'm curious and a bit worried if taking 500 mg of paracetamol can cause me to have hives or urticaria. Can you please help me understand this?
