HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is not likely that he would experience any severe side effects that would cause any problem.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, this means that it prevents or reduces the actions of a chemical in the body called leukotrienes.
Leukotrienes are involved in causing allergic reaction.
The most common side effects are headaches, sore throat, dizziness, rash, ear pain, skin rash, dental pain.
I hope this helps
