HI, long term continuous use of montelukast can lead to several side effect including gastrointestinal disturbances, dizziness, fever, rash, sleeplessness, weakness cough, nasal congestion, angioedema, arthralgia, cholestasis and other liver problems, bleeding tendencies and few others also.
he should go for allergen test to get the list of them and then try to avoid the exposure to them , if respiratory tract is also involved then special precaution should be taken and steroids can be added when required and regular follow up is also required.other drugs can be used depending on the condition and for this you should consult a physician.
wish you all the best.
