Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
As you have rightly pointed out that Montek, a leucotriene antogonist is given for prevention and treatment of Asthma.
Viral infection like cold will trigger an attack of asthma in children having family history of asthma.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
