I'm dealing with a cold and cough that just won't go away. Every time I come into contact with dust, my nose gets all irritated, and the cold seems to flare up again. It's particularly tough during the winter; sometimes it feels hard to breathe because of the heavy cold. Should I be worried about this recurring issue, and is there something specific I can do to feel better?

I'm experiencing breathing problems for quite a while now, and I've been taking Montek LC tablets. Could you tell me if that's a good idea or if there's something else I should be doing? I really need some guidance on this.
Taking Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) can help manage allergies and breathing issues caused by conditions like allergic rhinitis or mild asthma. However, long-term breathing problems should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, COPD, or other respiratory disorders. Please consult a specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
