Greetings
I have noted that your son is 6 years old and weighs 20 kg.
Your observation is completely correct; the standard, approved pediatric dose of Montair (montelukast) for a 6-year-old child is 5 mg once daily.
A 10 mg dose is typically reserved for adults and adolescents aged 15 years and older.
Since his recurring cough and persistent wheezing point toward hyperreactive airways or environmental allergies triggered by his village travel, long-term controller therapy is appropriate.
However, before starting this one-month course, you must consult your pediatrician to confirm if the 10 mg prescription was a typographical error or an intentional, high-dose choice for his specific condition.
While resolving this with the doctor, closely monitor his breathing and seek emergency medical attention if you notice warning signs like rapid breathing, chest retractions, or severe breathing difficulty.
