Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
YES and NO
YES : Montek LC works by inhibiting the mechanism involved in sneezing and itching.
NO : It doesn't target the trigger for repeated sneezing and itching. Basically, the cause of your sneezing has not been targeted
Next Steps
Please try the following methods
1. Warm water gargles before and after bed.
2. Steam inhalation thrice a day if possible.
Please try to be more vigilant for situations/locations which lead to these episodes and try to actively avoid them.
You may continue Montec LC as it provides you relief, there are no long term side effects.
Health Tips
Since I am unaware of your allergy reports, I can't comment if it is due to allergy or not.
Please consult an ENT specialist if allergy is not the cause, as you may have Vasomotor Rhinitis (NOT a serious disease, but needs evaluation and further management)

It sounds like you are dealing with Chronic Allergic Rhinitis
About Montek LC and Long-Term Use:
• Levocetirizine is a non-sedating antihistamine — safe for long-term use in most people.
• Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor blocker — also generally safe long-term, but:
• Rarely associated with mood changes, sleep disturbances, or vivid dreams in some people
• Used widely for asthma and allergic rhinitis
If you’re not having side effects, using Montek LC 2–3 times per week is acceptable and often necessary in chronic allergies.
Also, share your allergy tests
Advise:
1. Covering your mouth, preferably using a face mask will protect you from dust/allergens.
2. Hydrate yourself — assess if eating or drinking something initiates an allergic reaction.
3. Vitamin C tablets — 1 - 0 - 1 x 10 days
4. Steam Inhalation twice a day with Karvol Plus capsules (nasal decongestant)
5. Fluticasone Nasal Spray — Use 2 puffs before the initiation of sneezing, it will help you stop sneezing.

Share results of your allergy tests.
Use face mask, when exposed to dust or fumes.
Tab vit c 500mg one every morning and evening for 15 days.
Use honey regularly, even if in small quantity.
Use fluticasone nasal spray, 2 puffs the moment sneezing starts, it will abort sneezing. Regular steam inhalation at least twice each day with karvol capsule will help in symptoms.
Drink more water. Assess yourself, if eating or drinking something or using on body, initiates sneezing, avoid it.
Above measures will minimise need of montek lc.
