Brief Answer:
Accolate, Zileuton are similar, inhalation steroids also can be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Similar drugs with Singulair are Accolate, Zileuton.

Another possibility of treating chronic cough is short term use of local corticosteroids ( Beclomethasone inhalation eg. ).

All these are prescription drugs, so there's need to discuss with your primary care Doctor about their use.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
