Montek lc is a combination of 2 medicines- Montelukast and levocetrizine. Now, if you are benefitted, I think you should consider continuing the treatment. However, you can take plain montair.
This need not necessarily mean that you have asthma. The medicine is prescribed in many different conditions. This will include asthma, bronchitis and even allergies.
