General & Family Physician 's  Response
Montelukast is a Leukotriene antagonist, not a steroid.
Oedema, pruritis are noted ADRs of the drug.
Check the drug dosage with your prescribing physician.
You may have to change if you cannot tolerate.

Welcome to HCM.
Discontinue your medicine if it dont give you relief.
For itching you can take cetrizin,levocetrizine,it will give you relief from itching.To reduce the swelling you can take any NSAID.Better you consult dematologist for proper diagnosis and management.
