Update.... well my 6yr old son came off Singulair on 3-29. His sinuses drained finally (only waiting past year for that to happen) 9 days after coming off. His sinus problems have been gradually going away. He is now only taking claritin and sudafed when absolutely needed. BUT he started with sore throats. He never had a problem with tonsils only adenoids which they took out in Feb. Now since stopping the Singulair his tonsils have become constantly infected and twice the size so he will be having them removed in July. Some of the antibiotic don't seem to be working as he has been on them so much over past year. Im wondering if the Singulair was hiding the fact there was a problem with the tonsils as well.

I had them test him for mono because he kept getting white throat and red throat etc.. They were doing routine blood work for well check so I asked them to check that as well and it came back negative.

I would have no way of knowing what organism is causing your problem so I am just going to give an example. Micro-organism such as pseudomonas are very good at protecting themselves. They can produce a slime like substance that protects them from nitric oxide as is produced by the immune cells. The good bacterias keep the bad bacterias in check. Singulair suppresses the immune system by blocking leukotrienes. And other chemicals reactions happen that I don't exactly have a complete understanding of.

I am still thinking about those Merck metabolism studies about how montelukast breaks down. Oh where, oh where did the nitrogen go? Oh when, oh when did it leave? I am not good at organic chemistry. I hope that I can find something that experts wrote so that I don't have to count protons and electrons, and figure out orbitals. I hated that stuff.
