montral kid is monteleukast and levocetrizine- indicated in seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.Prolonged use is not associated with the tolerance characteristic as with salmeterol. In prolonged use its effects are comparable to inhaled steroids and it does not have steroid side effects. so quite benificial in kids. no need to search for alternative medicine. its safe
