For suspected viral infections like COVID-19, azithromycin (an antibiotic) and ivermectin are generally not recommended. Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) can help with respiratory symptoms, but you should discuss its continuation with your doctor. Please stop the chewable vitamin C, as its acidity is likely causing your tongue to burn; you can get vitamin C from your diet instead. Focus on resting, staying well-hydrated, and taking paracetamol to manage your fever and body aches safely. Once your results arrive, consult your healthcare provider to guide your next steps.

Why am I still struggling to get enough air and dealing with an alternating stuffy nose even though I am using Montair LC, Flomist, and Allegra 120, and what should I do next?

You are currently taking Montair LC (montelukast/levocetirizine), Flomist (fluticasone), and Allegra 120 (fexofenadine). While these are excellent for allergies, persistent shortness of breath means your airway inflammation may need a different management strategy. Alternating nasal stuffiness is common but suggests your nasal passages are still reactive. Please consult your doctor or a pulmonologist soon. They can evaluate your lung function, check your nasal spray technique, and safely adjust your treatment so you can breathe comfortably again.

What should I do if my two-year-old child accidentally took half a Montair Plus tablet, and are there any side effects or risks I should watch out for?

Since Montair Plus contains montelukast and bambuterol, a one-time accidental ingestion of a half tablet by your two-year-old is unlikely to cause severe harm, but it is best to be cautious. Please contact your pediatrician or local poison control center right away for guidance. Meanwhile, keep your child calm and monitor them closely. Watch for temporary side effects like a slightly fast heart rate, mild shakiness, restlessness, or hyperactivity. If you notice any extreme drowsiness or breathing difficulties, seek medical care immediately.

What are my best treatment options for managing my returning allergy symptoms, like an itchy nose, now that I have stopped using Flutofil spray, especially since Montair LC makes me too drowsy and FM24 was not effective?

Since you stopped Flutofil, we can explore other options. A non-drowsy daily oral antihistamine, such as loratadine, can relieve itching without making you sleepy. Alternatively, restarting a steroid nasal spray like fluticasone propionate is often the most effective approach for direct nasal relief with minimal side effects. I highly recommend discussing these generic options with your doctor to find the safest, most comfortable match for your daily routine.

What should I do if my 2-year-old child has had a cold, runny nose, and cough for 15 days and is not showing any improvement after taking Ascoril, Trifet, and Montair for 4 days as prescribed by our doctor?

Since there is no improvement after four days on Ascoril, Trifet, and Montair, it is very important to have her re-evaluated by her pediatrician. A 15-day cough and cold may suggest a secondary infection or allergy that requires a different treatment plan. Please do not change or add any medications without consulting your doctor. In the meantime, keep her well-hydrated and use saline nasal drops to ease her congestion.

Is it safe to take Montair LC without a prescription whenever my allergy symptoms flare up, can my body build a tolerance or become dependent on it, and what are some effective alternatives since Montair 10mg has not worked well for me?

It is not safe to take Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) without a doctor's prescription. Fortunately, you will not develop a physical tolerance or become dependent on this medication. Since Montair 10mg did not provide enough relief, other effective, non-addictive options to discuss with your doctor include generic daily antihistamines like fexofenadine or cetirizine, or daily nasal corticosteroid sprays like fluticasone. Please consult a healthcare professional to safely find the best treatment plan to help you breathe easier.

Is it normal for my 52-year-old mother with asthma to still have a persistent fever and cough while taking Montair LC, Forecort, Medrol, and Cepodem for suspected COVID-19, and what should we do next since her lung scan score was 5 out of 25?

During a viral infection like suspected COVID-19, a persistent fever and cough can continue for several days even while taking medications like Montair LC, Forecort, Medrol, and Cepodem. Since she has asthma, the most important step is to monitor her oxygen levels closely using a pulse oximeter. If her oxygen saturation stays at 94% or above, continue her medications and keep her well-hydrated. If her oxygen drops below 94%, or if she develops severe shortness of breath, please seek immediate medical evaluation.
