Montelukast (kastair) With Other Meds Ok For Infants?

Updated

I have a 9 month old baby boy who weighs 10.5 kg. He had his first asthma attack since he was on his 6th month. His pediatrician prescribed him 1 nebule Salbutamol (Ventolin) and 1/2 nebule Budesonide (Asmavent) every 4 hours, Prednisone (Prolix) 2.5ml 2x a day, Pocaterol HCl (Meptin) 2.5ml 3x a day and Cefixime (Tergecef) 1.5ml 2x a day. Then I went for a second opinion from another pediatrician and she prescribed Ceterizine (Allerkid) 1ml before bedtime, Salbutamol-Ipratropium (Duavent) 1 nebule for every 6 hours, Erythromycin (ilosone) 2ml 3x a day and Montelukast (Kastair) 1 tablet before bedtime. I had a neighbor whose baby is also taking Montelukast for almost 2 years now. She said her son no longer had asthma attacks. My question is, is it okay for my baby to take Montelukast while he is on the other regimen from his pediatrician? Thanks.
