Is it okay to take Montek LC for a whole month? My doctor told me to, but I'm breastfeeding and just want to make sure it's safe.

Very low levels of montelukast appear in breastmilk. Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 6 months of age and has been used in neonates in dosages far greater than the amounts in breastmilk. Amounts ingested by the infant would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants No special precautions are required.

View allMy little one is just 6 months old and has been dealing with a cough and some chest congestion. I'm wondering if it's safe to give him Ambrodil S syrup? I'm really concerned about making sure I'm doing the right thing for him, and I'd love some guidance.

My son is 4 years old and he's been having this cough with mucus for a while. Every time he coughs, I can feel and hear the mucus in his lungs, but it just won't come out. It's really worrying me. Our doctor suggested giving him Montair LC Kid syrup for four days, and mentioned that if things don't get better, we'd have to try nebulization. When I looked up Montair LC, it seemed to be more for allergies or asthma. Is it really safe to give him this syrup, and will it actually help with the mucus in his chest?
Yes ,continue same treatment.

I'm really worried about my 6-year-old who has this strange cough that sounds like barking, but there's no mucus involved. It's been more than five days now, and it gets worse at night, especially when she goes to bed, and sometimes it leads to vomiting. We've been giving her Maxtra, Arsinol, and Ziprox antibiotic syrup for five days, but she's still coughing a lot with that heavy sound. I'm not sure if this could be a dry cough from asthma, or maybe croup caused by a virus or bacteria. There's no cold, just the cough. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?
it's inflammatory condition called CROUP ! DUE TO INFLAMMATION and irritation it cause cough
