Yes, a headache is a known side effect of Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine). To help manage this, I recommend resting in a quiet room and staying well-hydrated. You might consider a mild over-the-counter pain reliever, but please consult your doctor first, as some pain relievers can occasionally trigger asthma. Fortunately, these headaches are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts. However, if the pain becomes severe, persists, or is accompanied by dizziness, please consult your healthcare provider.

Montair-LC (a combination of montelukast and levocetirizine) temporarily relieves symptoms of allergies and asthma, but it does not cure the underlying cause. Your symptoms could be due to chronic asthma, environmental allergies, or hyperreactive airways. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional or a pulmonologist. They can perform simple breathing tests, like spirometry, to find the exact cause and prescribe a safer, more effective long-term management plan to help you breathe easier.

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.

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 it worsens specifically at home despite taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) and Alex cough syrup, it is highly possible that indoor environmental triggers are at play. Common culprits include dust mites, mold, pet dander, or dry air. Sometimes, acid reflux can also trigger a cough when you relax or lie down at home. Try using a humidifier, keeping your living space well-ventilated, and staying hydrated with warm fluids. Please consult your doctor to help identify the specific trigger and safely adjust your treatment.

Since Montair LC (which contains levocetirizine and montelukast) and steam inhalation aren't helping, your symptoms might be due to a different type of nasal sensitivity or persistent inflammation rather than a simple allergy. I recommend consulting an ENT specialist or allergist. They can help identify specific triggers and might suggest alternative options, such as prescription nasal sprays, to target the inflammation directly.
