Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. In addition to montelukast, request your doctor to prescribe an anti-histamine, a steroid nasal spray, a dry cough mixture and regular plain water steam inhalation.
2. The effect of all the these together will be more efficient than just montelukast alone.
3. Hypothyroidism is known to be associated with such symptoms.
4. Get her nose and throat examined. This may help diagnose her problem better. Blood tests may also help.

Thank you for writing back.
