Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms of allergy and itching suggests me that you may be having allergy to some allergen which should be found out. As you were prescribed Tab Montek LC, this is an excellent drug which helps to control the symptoms.

As you getting back these symptoms after stopping the drug you should be thoroughly evaluated for the symptoms. You need test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count and it should be followed by skin prick test for more prevalent allergens like dust, pollen, mite and food.

This will helps to find out the allergen which is responsible for all these symptoms, then you can avoid these allergens are you can choose immunotherapy.
Thank you.
