Is It Safe To Use Montair LC Long Term For Recurring Allergies?

Dear Doctor(s), I have two major questions to ask about, 1. I have very weird reaction in my body and I don t know if anyone else in this world would have something like that. The problem is that, whenever I touch something literally cold or hot, or when some cold or hot air come in contact with my any body part I sneeze three or four times consecutively. I have been living with these weird response from many years already now and no one in my family has such condition. What should I do in this case, I have consulted so many doctors and none of them were able to find out what my problem is actually and the only thing they were to say is that I have red blood cells more than the usual range and that might be the reason for it. Is there any test or possible treatment for it? 2. I get runny nose, sneezes, mild cough every during summer and the doctors did prick test and said that I might be allergic to pollen, perch, etc and advised to use Montair-LC ( montelukast 10mg, levocetirizine hydrochloride IP 5mg) one tablet a day during is season and I am afraid to use these tablet for 2 to 3 months, every year. Is it safe to use this table every year for two to three months and what are the possible side effects with it? what are the other treatments for this kind of allergies, allergy shots? but doctor said I am allergic to quite many particles so not good to for immunology treatment?

Hello,

The condition is suggestive of polycythemia vera from primary or secondary reasons. Requires details of all work up reports done till now for detailed evaluation and guidelines. Montelukast can be consumed without any harm for persistent 2-3 months every year. The issue of best management would be avoidance of exposure only via face mask and other measures. To boost up your immunity, balanced nutritious diet and YOGA, deep breathing exercises help great to boost up your lung function. Do discuss the need of desensitization therapy with your doc for avoiding every year need of Montelukast therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
