From what you have said above, you seem to be having bronchial asthma with allergic rhinitis. I have prescribed montelukast with levocetrine tablets for so many of my patients, and they have taken for more than 1 year. I haven't come across any major side effects. Its a very safe drug. You can try by taking alternate day and see if symptoms are reduced.
For cough and cold, you can take tab montair lc. If you are having only dry cough, then you can take syrup ascoril d, keep paracetamol 650 tablets - it will act for fever, headache,even as painkiller.

5. Sleep With an Extra Pillow Under Your Head-- Elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope.
6. Treat That Stuffy Nose With Warm Salt Water-- Salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose.
7. Blow Your Nose Often (and the Right Way)-- It's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head.
