Maybe you should check for carbon monoxide in your home or any different detergent or any scent that's New. I have trouble at home but I have 2 dogs. But they never used to bother me until I got sick I guess. I stopped the montelukast myself after yrs of taking it. I swear it's what made me sick but I'll never know for sure. Do you take any supplements, they can help alot
