Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, you are mostly having asthma or allergic bronchitis. Wheezing with coughing are seen in these diseases. Telekast L is having montelukast (anti-allergic) and levocetrizine (antihistamine). Your cough is improved with telecast L, this also favors asthma or allergic bronchitis more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma or bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may also need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), along with telecast L. And no need to worry about long term use as these Chat Doctor.  No major side effects are seen. These will help you more in relieving cough and wheezing. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
