Hi, my 3 years old daughter has cough for the last one month, which gets severs in the night. We have allergy history in the family. One year back we gave her myteka for 2 months on the advice of peaditrician. She got well. Can we again give her the same medicine. Whether this medicine has any side effects.
Hi, Myteka is a leukotriene receptor antagonist commonly prescribed to treat seasonal allergy and also to prevent bronchial asthma. Its common side effects include stomach upset, headache, dizziness, liver dysfunction, upper respiratory infection and running nose. If your daughter is having breathing problem with cough this medication may be given however other causes of cough such as infection should be ruled out. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
