Hi,
Levocetirizine and Montelukast are safe drugs and do not cause any severe side effects. You can continue the drug once a day at night. Dry mouth, drowsiness, headache and abdominal pain are some of the few side effects. Dehydration and diarrhoea should be prevented by plenty of oral fluids.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
