Hi lybrate-user, Chronic urticaria is a allergic problem and increased by many allergic factors in our surrounding area. So don't panic and take tablet only when required. Unnecessary self medication is always harmful. Take more vitamin C it would help you. Apply a medicated moisturizing lotion name- Secalia lotion. All the best.

It would be better for you to discontinue montelukast and consult an ent surgeon to assess your symptoms. Cough syrups are comparable to one another and offer some respite from cough but honey 2-3 ml taken as...more

It looks more like anxiety than respiratory problems. In severe anxiety also these kind of symptoms are common. Kindly consult a psychiatrist and get an opinion, with the blood investigation/ chest x ray and other tests done till now. All the best.

It seems your allergy is severe. Your Dr. can prescribe other stronger antihistmines like allegra and sme other group of medications like montelukast etc. If these do not help you should see an allergist who can do tests to find out what you are allergic and treat you more rationally. If you get any swelling of tongue ,throat or difficulty breathing you should seek medicine help immediately or go hospital.

Dear User, yes you can. The generic names of the drugs are the same. It is just the brand that is different. However make sure you get the dosage right while purchasing the substitute drug.If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.
