Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Main treatment for asthma is inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Montek LC (montelukast and levocetrizine) is add on drug. It is not main treatment.
Since you are not taking inhaled treatment, you are not improving with asthma. In my opinion, you should first get done PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will tell you about severity of the asthma and treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You will definitely improve with long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA - formoterol or salmeterol) and newer ICS (fluticasone or budesonide).
Don't worry, with these inhaled treatment, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
