What could be causing my 8-year-old son's evening cough and throat discomfort, which is relieved by Montair and Strepsils but returns immediately if we skip a day, and should we take him to a doctor for a proper diagnosis?

The improvement with Montair (montelukast) suggests his symptoms might be linked to allergies or airway sensitivity, such as cough-variant asthma, which often flares up at night. While Strepsils temporarily soothe his throat, they only mask the discomfort. Because his symptoms return immediately when medication is paused, I highly recommend consulting a pediatrician. A proper professional diagnosis is essential to identify the underlying cause and establish a safe, long-term treatment plan tailored for an eight-year-old, rather than relying on daily symptom-relievers.
