I'm feeling okay during the day, but as soon as it gets cold, I start sneezing, and my nose gets blocked. Then my ears and the back of my throat itch a lot, and it just gets really irritating. Could this be some kind of cold weather allergy? What can I do about it?

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.

I'm really worried about my IgE levels; they're at 1074 kUAL. My fingers get swollen in winter, and I'm starting to think I might have an allergy to cold temperatures. I've been taking Allegra 180 for two weeks, but my IgE levels haven't changed. With the COVID vaccine, I'm concerned about having a severe reaction. Do you think it's safe for me to get vaccinated?
