Brief Answer:
Get done allergy testing.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having allergic symptoms.
Montek LC is having montelukast and levocetrizine.
Montelukast is anti allergic drug and levocetrizine is antihistamine drug.
Both are used for allergic symptoms.
Your symptoms are reappeared after stopping montek LC. So possibility of allergy is more in your case.
And best treatment of allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it.
So get done allergy testing to identify allergens.
Common allergens are dust, pollens, animal fur, mites, pollution, smoke, chemicals etc.
So get done testing for all common allergens.
Once you completely avoid the allergen, your need fir montek LC will also reduce.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
