A member asked:
I also wanted to know if i'm on singulair (montelukast) now does that mean i'm always going to have to be on it? or if it's for allergies just during allergy season

DEPENDS: If you are having symptoms only during a certain time of the year, you may only need it during that period (note that it takes 2-3 weeks for it to reach optimal effectiveness). It also depends on whether you still have allergic inflammation during the rest of the year when you don't have any symptoms especially if it was Rxd for asthma.
