A member asked:
My 16 mth old has been on singulair (montelukast) for about 2 wkd for allergies and possible asthma.she keeps waking up at night with a horrible cough.suggestions?

Cough in children: There are several things that could be going on. First is that the cough may actually be caused by the singulair (montelukast). Simply stop the medicine and see how she does. Could be her allergies are more than singulair (montelukast) can manage. You can try an anti-histamine like cetirizine. Could be completely unrelated and be reflux. A trial of zantac can sometimes help answer the question.
