Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

Telecast-L kid tablet is usually considered safe for children. They are used to treat both allergic and viral-induced wheezing in children.

It contains two drugs: montelukast & levocetirizine.

Side effects of montelukast are rarely reported in clinical practice. Sometimes a child may have nausea or vomiting. Levocetirizine usually causes sedation at normal dosages.

If your daughter is not experiencing any of these side effects, you can continue the drug as your pediatrician has suggested.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish your daughter the best of the health.

Regards.
