Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Montair lc kid contains Monteleukast and levocetrizine. Monteleukast is usually used in cases of allergic rhinitis and in cases of bronchial asthma for decreasing frequency of attacks,it works by reducing inflamation in airways
Levocetrizine is antiallergic medicine used in cases of allergies.
I think You should try Steam inhalation with caution and nasoclear drops for your child as you are complaining of only cold and no other complaints.
Wishing good health for your child.
