General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.

I can understand your concern. There are a few studies done mostly in Australia which show that long-term use of Montelukast (one of the contents in Montair-LC) is associated with depression in kids.

However, the risk of this adverse effect is extremely low for eg. about 1 in a million and also is associated with use for a very long time eg. years together. Hence, I would not worry about this effect for a relatively short time use like for 3-6 months.

Apart from this, the her current line of treatment is ok and is working for her according to you. Hence, I would suggest you continue the same.

If at all she develops a lot of symptoms like nasal blockage and constant cold, she may have to be surgically treated.

Hope this answers your query. Wishing her good health.

Regards,
Dr Geeta
