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'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.

I'm really struggling with this long-term issue. When I take medicine, I'm okay, but if I don't, it's like the worst ever. I have this constant runny nose, continuous sneezing, and headaches, and it's just becoming too much to handle every day without medication. I've tried Allegra, Montek LC, and Cetirizine. They work for a day but then it's back to the same problems. What should I do?

I'm wondering why I've started getting cold symptoms even with just a small amount of sweets since my covid vaccination. I used to eat sweets often without any issues, but now it seems like even a little bit triggers a cold. Could the vaccine have affected my immune response to sweets somehow? Any advice or insights you could share would be really helpful.
because of decreased immunity you are facing It, stop junk food and timely eating
