Hi,

Long term use of Montelukast can cause dry mouth, dizziness, sore throat as side effects. You can switch over Myteka which is another brand name for Montelukast and watch for symptoms for the next few weeks. In case of better tolerance,your child can continue taking Myteka.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
