I'm really worried about this allergic problem I've been dealing with for the last two years. I keep getting short of breath, there's this whistling sound when I breathe, plus I've got a runny nose, a cough, and sometimes even a fever. Montek LC tablets do help, but as soon as I stop taking them, all these symptoms come back within a day or two. What should I do? Can you suggest anything that'll give me longer-lasting relief?

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.
