Allergic Cough
I have allergic mild cough due to which I cough throughout the day (but its dry and mild). I have been coughing for 2month before I got this diagnosis.
My question is - how long will Odimont-FX take to work? Its been 5 days my cough has 50% improvement only.
Hello, hope you are doing fine now.
So 50% improvement with 4-5 days of the combination medicine is a good response no doubt.
I would like to tell you to observe the cough, is it more when you lie down at night, is it more after meals, also do you eat spicy and oily food?
So this can basically indicate reflux pharyngitis. Also please observe any change in your voice.
Watch for habits like late meal consumption at night, no gap between dinner and sleeping time. All these habits can aggravate such type of cough.
So I would also advise you to make few lifestyle modifications along with having that medicine.
Have early meals, keep a gap of 3 hrs min between your dinner time and sleep time, consume plenty of fluids, avoid spicy and oily food.
Hope you feel even better soon.
You can connect with me anytime on practo for more detailed explanation and various remedies.

Hello,
Odimont-FX (montelukast + levocetirizine) usually starts showing benefit within a few days, but in allergic cough it may take 2–3 weeks of regular use for full effect. A 50% improvement in 5 days is a good response, so continue as advised. If symptoms persist beyond 3–4 weeks or worsen, a review is needed to rule out other causes.
For personalized follow-up and dose adjustment, please connect with me on Practo.

Odimont-FX works by reducing allergic airway inflammation (montelukast) and blocking histamine (fexofenadine), thereby airway inflammation calms down, Irritation and hypersensitivity reduce, Cough reflex is less triggered and you will experience less frequent and milder cough, better sleep, better quality of life
Initial response: Usually seen within a few days.
Full effect: May take 2–3 weeks of continuous use, especially in chronic cough that has lasted for months.
Your progress: 50% improvement in just 5 days is actually a very good response. It indicates the medicine is effective for you.
Next Steps
1. Continue medication as prescribed, don’t stop early.
2. Avoid triggers (dust, smoke, perfumes, sudden weather changes).
3. Maintain hydration, do saline gargles/steam inhalation.
4. If cough persists beyond 3–4 weeks of treatment, or worsens, consult your doctor again to rule out Asthma, Post-nasal drip (allergic rhinitis), Reflux disease (GERD) and Chronic infection
