Question

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days. I tried taking Monteklc, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any idea why it might not be working and what else I could try for relief?

Since Montek-LC (a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast) is primarily an antihistamine and anti-asthmatic medication, its effectiveness for throat pain may be limited; consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and alternative treatments, such as antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected, or pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help alleviate throat pain.
