I'm finally over my cold and all the symptoms, which is great. But now I'm wondering how to stop taking the tablets I've been on. I was prescribed a combination of fexofenadine 120 mg and montelukast 10 mg to take at night for six months, and I've just finished that period. The doctor who prescribed it has moved abroad, and I'm not sure what to do next. I tried skipping the medication for two days, but started experiencing itching all over my body. I was initially taking this for a runny nose from 6 am to 11 am every day. Since these medications have worked and my cold is completely cured, how should I go about stopping them?

Ceruklin Ear Drops are typically used for 3-5 days before earwax is softened and removed.
Since you've already used the drops for 5 days, consider:
- Continuing for 1-2 more days (max 7 days)
- Having your ears checked by a doctor or ENT specialist
- Using ear drops as directed and avoiding excessive use
If the wax persists, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and removal.
