I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and have tried different antihistamines like Cetirizine, Fexofenadine, Desloratadine, and Levocetirizine, but they all cause me severe heartburn and acid reflux. I noticed that when I take Monlevo, which combines Montelukast Sodium and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride, I don't experience these side effects. Why do you think that is? Is there something about this combination that prevents the usual issues? What should I consider or discuss with my doctor about this?

I'm allergic to eggs and it's really frustrating. Every time I have something with eggs, like stuff from the Pasty Cake Bakery, I get this awful abdominal pain that just won't go away, even after taking medicine. Some people think I'm just imagining it, but I'm pretty sure it's real. What's weird is that sometimes I get the same pain after having cheese or paneer dishes at certain restaurants. I havent eaten eggs in the last 25 years, but now I'm thinking about trying them again. What do you suggest? Are there specific foods I should stay away from? And is there any chance this allergy could be cured?
If you have a confirmed egg allergy, it's safer to continue avoiding eggs and egg-based products, even if you haven't eaten them for a long time. If you feel the urge to try eggs again, its best to consult an allergist first. They may advise you on how to approach it, and you may even undergo treatment like oral immunotherapy in some cases, but that requires professional supervision.

I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?
Taking Montelukast (Montek LC) for long periods can sometimes lead to mild side effects like headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.
