montelukast tablet uses - #18729
I was recently prescribed montelukast tablets for my allergies, but I don’t fully understand why. My main issue is that I get frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, and a stuffy nose in the mornings, especially when the weather changes. The doctor said that montelukast tablets help with inflammation and make breathing easier, but I don’t have asthma, so I don’t know if this medicine is actually right for me. I’ve been taking montelukast tablets for about two weeks now, and I have noticed that my nose is less congested. But at the same time, I feel a bit drowsy during the day, and sometimes, I wake up feeling thirsty. Are these common side effects of montelukast tablets? Should I continue taking them long-term, or will my body become dependent on them? I really don’t want to take medication forever if there’s a natural way to manage allergies. That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda. Are there Ayurvedic alternatives to montelukast tablets? I read that herbs like Tulsi, Mulethi, and Haridra help with respiratory issues—can they work the same way as montelukast tablets? How long would it take for natural remedies to start showing results? Another thing I’ve been wondering is whether allergies are connected to digestion. I often feel bloated or have stomach discomfort, and I read that Ayurveda links poor digestion to increased mucus production. Could that be why I keep getting allergies? If so, should I be focusing on improving my digestion rather than just treating my symptoms with montelukast tablets? Also, do diet and lifestyle changes help in reducing the need for montelukast tablets? I eat a lot of dairy and fried foods, but I recently heard that these can increase mucus buildup. Should I be avoiding certain foods to naturally control my allergies? And are there any Ayurvedic breathing exercises or detox treatments that can strengthen my lungs and reduce my dependence on medication? I also noticed that montelukast tablets are sometimes prescribed for skin allergies. My cousin was given them for hives, but I thought they were only for breathing issues. Does this mean that montelukast tablet uses also include skin-related problems? If Ayurveda has different treatments for respiratory allergies and skin allergies, how do I know which one is right for me? I really want to find a natural way to manage my allergies so that I don’t have to rely on medication forever. If there are Ayurvedic herbs, treatments, or lifestyle changes that can help me replace montelukast tablets, I’d love to try them. What’s the best way to transition from medicine to natural healing?
