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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been noticing that whenever I touch something colder than the usual temperature, I start to sneeze. It's also happening with the early morning breeze sometimes, giving me that sneezing sensation. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a common reaction?
Chronic cold and cough can be frustrating. Considering your allergy-like symptoms, possible causes include: - Allergies (dust, pollen, pet dander) - Environmental factors (pollution, tobacco smoke) - Sinusitis or respiratory infections For relief, try: - Antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine) - Decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine) - Nasal sprays (e.g., saline, oxymetazoline) - Drinking plenty of fluids - Using a humidifier Consult a doctor or allergist to determine the underlying cause and receive personalized guidance.

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?
I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.
