Since your symptoms have improved, you are likely in the tapering phase of your montelukast and fexofenadine therapy. You should continue this reduced dose only for the duration advised by your doctor, as stopping prematurely may cause symptoms to return. For safe, long-term relief, identifying and avoiding your specific allergy triggers is key. Alternative medical options for long-term management include saline nasal rinses, daily maintenance inhaled corticosteroids (if there is underlying airway sensitivity), or allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) for lasting desensitization. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication schedule.
