I have had a cold and nighttime throat pain for the last 3 days, which makes it difficult to eat in the mornings. I took a Montex tablet, but my symptoms have not improved. What alternative medicine should I take for relief?

Montex (montelukast) is primarily for allergies and asthma, which is why it hasn't relieved your throat pain. For better relief, try an over-the-counter pain reliever like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen to ease the soreness and help you eat. Additionally, warm salt-water gargles and throat lozenges can soothe nighttime irritation. Keep yourself hydrated with warm liquids. Since your symptoms have lasted 3 days, if they worsen or if you develop a high fever, please consult a doctor to rule out a bacterial infection.
