Brief Answer:
The medicine singulair will help to prevent nose allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The medicine singulair contains montelukast which treats allergy which might cause you to blow your nose regularly.

2. Blowing your nose is due to the release of chemicals called leukotriene in small amounts. The singulair is a leukotriene inhibitor and prevents the release of these harmful chemicals and treats the condition.

3. Please take singulair as recommended by your doctor.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
