Hello, Thanks for the query.
Duolin Inhaler contains Levosalbuatmol a bronchodilator, which is used in the treatment of bronchial asthma as you have stated. However, the doctor must have felt the need to use it in the present situation as some times cough due to allergy can lead to bronchoconstriction. SInce he is already taking Montelukast for controlling respiratory allergy. You may try this medication too. Thanks.
