Hi
If he is showing good response to montair, you can continue with it.
It is safe.
Usually we give it for 1 year or so.
If he gets wheeze only during winters, you may give it till winter is over
If he gets wheeze irrespective of the season, you may give it for a longer duration.
But if he is not responding, then you must discuss with your doctor regarding the next step (Steroid inhalers)
Hope this answers your query.
Best wishes.
