I've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?

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.

My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?
Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes: *Allergies* 1. *Dust mites*: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding. 2. *Pet allergies*: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch. *Environmental Factors* 1. *Dry air*: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness. 2. *Cold weather*: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose. *Skin Conditions* 1. *Seborrheic dermatitis*: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness. 2. *Contact dermatitis*: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product. *Other Possible Causes* 1. *Nose picking or rubbing*: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness. 2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids. To alleviate the itch, try: 1. Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip. 2. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose. 4. Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.
