Your symptoms suggest chronic urticaria and angioedema. Montair LC (levocetirizine and montelukast) helps manage these allergic symptoms, but stopping it suddenly can cause them to return. While gentle home remedies like cold compresses can soothe your skin, and Ayurvedic treatments may offer supportive care, they should not replace your standard medical treatment. Finding a long-term solution relies on identifying your specific triggers. I highly recommend consulting an allergist or dermatologist. They can safely guide you on a personalized treatment plan and help you slowly and safely taper off your medication.

Why is my wife getting hives every night between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., and is it safe to keep treating them with Montair LC since it clears them up within 30 minutes?

This timing is often linked to natural nighttime fluctuations in body temperature and histamine levels, or exposure to evening triggers like dust mites in bedding, dinner ingredients, or soaps. Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is highly effective for rapid relief. While it is generally safe for short-term control, using it daily without identifying the underlying cause is not recommended. I highly encourage you to have her see an allergist or dermatologist.

My husband is feeling better after taking Dolo 650, Montair LC, and Azithromycin 500 but still has a bothersome dry cough; should he get a COVID-19 test or a chest CT scan to be safe?

It is reassuring that your husband is feeling better after taking Dolo 650, Montair LC, and Azithromycin 500. A lingering dry cough is very common after respiratory infections as the airways remain sensitive and take time to heal. Taking a simple COVID-19 test is a safe and reasonable step to rule it out. However, a chest CT scan is unnecessary right now unless he develops severe symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or a recurring fever. For now, keep him hydrated with warm fluids and try steam inhalation. Please consult his doctor if the cough worsens or does not improve soon.

Is it safe to take Montair LC every other day for a long period of time to treat morning sneezing, watery eyes, and an itchy face that have lasted for two months?

Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is very effective for these allergy symptoms. While it is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, taking it every other day may not provide consistent control. It is best to consult your doctor to find the root cause of your two-month-long allergies. They can guide you on the safest, most effective schedule or discuss alternative options to keep you comfortable.

What can I safely give my 5-month-old baby to treat a dry cough, and is it safe for me to continue breastfeeding her after I have taken Montair LC tablets?

For your sweet 5-month-old, please avoid over-the-counter cough medicines, as they are not safe for infants. Instead, offer plenty of breast milk for comfort and hydration, or use a cool-mist humidifier. If the cough persists, please have a pediatrician examine her. Regarding Montair LC (which contains montelukast and levocetirizine), it is generally safe to continue breastfeeding while taking this medication. Only minimal amounts pass into breast milk, making it highly unlikely to affect your baby. Just monitor her for any unusual sleepiness. You are doing a wonderful job!

Why does my long-term cough return every time I stop taking Montair LC, even though my chest X-ray is clear?

A clear chest X-ray is great news because it rules out serious lung infections. However, Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) works by controlling underlying airway inflammation and allergies. When you stop the medication, this underlying sensitivity returns, triggering your cough again. This is common in conditions like cough-variant asthma or allergic bronchitis. Please don't worry, but do consult your doctor. They can help identify the root cause and guide you on how to safely manage or taper the medication.

Is it normal to still have a runny nose more than a month after getting COVID-19, even after taking Montair-LC for five days, or could it be a sign of a serious issue like a fungal infection, and what should I do next?

It is quite common to experience a persistent runny nose, or post-viral rhinitis, for several weeks after recovering from COVID-19 due to lingering airway inflammation. Please be reassured that a serious fungal infection is highly unlikely. While you tried Montair-LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) for five days, this duration might have been too short, or your symptoms may be non-allergic. I gently recommend using saline nasal sprays to soothe your nasal passages and consulting a primary care doctor or an ENT specialist.
