It is safe to receive your COVID-19 vaccine while taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine). This medication treats your hives by managing allergic responses; it does not suppress your immune system or reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. It is actually best to keep your hives well-controlled before getting vaccinated. You do not need to stop taking your medication. Just be sure to inform the healthcare provider at the vaccination center about your history of hives and current medications.

Yes, it is very likely your medications are causing these symptoms. The antibiotics you finished?Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) and Linox (linezolid)?commonly leave a persistent bitter taste. Additionally, your daily asthma medications, including Unicontin (theophylline), Montair (montelukast), and your inhalers, are well-known causes of dry mouth. To find relief, please ensure you rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after each inhaler use. Staying well-hydrated by sipping water throughout the day, chewing sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva, and maintaining good oral hygiene will also help. If the dryness or taste does not improve soon, please consult your doctor.

Since your nasal endoscopy was normal?which is very reassuring?your ongoing ear pressure, crawling sensation, and jaw pain may not be sinus-related. Instead, they could stem from Eustachian tube dysfunction or Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) issues, where jaw tension affects the ear nerves. Since medications like Montair LC and Avamys haven't fully resolved this, I gently recommend consulting your ENT specialist to evaluate your Eustachian tube directly, or a dental specialist to check for TMJ dysfunction. In the meantime, applying warm compresses to your jaw may offer some comforting relief.

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.

Since you are taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine), your symptoms might be due to ongoing environmental allergies, chronic sinusitis, or even silent acid reflux irritating your throat. I suggest discussing this with your doctor to see if adjusting your current allergy management or adding a generic steroid nasal spray would help. In the meantime, staying well-hydrated with warm water and using saline nasal rinses can help thin the mucus and bring you some comfort.

Please note that Montair LC is typically taken only once daily; she should avoid taking it twice a day. For her body aches and sore throat, she can safely take paracetamol. Encourage her to rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, and try warm saline gargles to soothe her throat. If her symptoms worsen, or she develops a high fever or breathing difficulties, please consult a doctor promptly.
