Hi all,
First post here. I'm 22 and the last few years I have experienced regular wheezing and always seem to pick up a chest infection. Sometimes it feels infected and sore, whereas sometimes its just white mucus that doesn't seem infected. Just a nuisance but once coughed up I'm fine for the day.
I take:
2 Puffs of Seretide 125ml Twice a day (Volumatic)
Ventolin (if needed)
Throughout this time I have been on steroids that obviously help if I'm feeling particularly bad, and I went through a phase of taking one montelukast every night that helped my peak flow increase over time and it did help.
I have came off the montelukast the last few months and seem to be experiencing a bit of a wheeze again. Nothing too drastic, but its there.
a) Do you think I need the Montelukast again?
b) Are there any side effects of montelukast?
c) How much of an impact does a dusty bedroom have? (I am probably guilty of this!)
