 1  Allergies Within 24 hours, my even tempered 3.5 year old turned into crabby, crying, emotionally fragile child. He would melt down in tears and when asked what was wrong would say "I DON'T KNOW." He is usually very good at expressing himself, but since being on this, he is easily upset and confused. When he wakes in the morning, I'm telling him he doesn't have to take this anymore. I had a bad feeling going into this...no reason why as I had never really heard anything about Singulair (positive or negative)...I just had a bad feeling. I feel so terrible that my sweet boy has had such a difficult few days (major tantrums/meltdowns). He's 3.5 and I'm proud to say that I am always complimented on how lovely he behaves...not the last four days...poor sweet boy. I can only imagine it's the medicine. He has only been able to express that he feels bad all over, but cannot pinpoint an exact location. He said he felt fragile and very sad for no reason at all...scary stuff. F 3.5 4 days

 5  Asthma, bad cough, chest infections NO SIDE EFFECTS WHAT SO EVER. My 4yr old son suffered year after year with asthma, a terrible cough and chest infections. Each year would be worse than the other. He has been on 4mg once a day for the last 2 months and it has been the best 2 months of his life health wise. I have keept a very keen eye out for side effects and can honestly say, there are NONE. I will take him off Singulair in the summer months when there are no symptoms. But will put him back on when symptoms start up again. This drug has been a blessing for us I just wish it could be this way for eveyone else. M 4 2 months

 4  Child asthma none that were noticeable, wondering if there are long term side effects?? my 3 year old developed severe asthma symptoms and was repeatedly being admitted or rushed to hospital with every cough and cold, which was being made much worse by the fact he has respiratory problems. The preventer ( steroid) inhalers were not making a difference and the reliever inhaler was giving him an increased heart rate ( very common side affect of reliever inhaler) and made him hyper and feelings of extreme hunger. Singulair was prescribed and within two weeks has changed my sons life, from virtually being unable to walk up stairs to being able to run around and he almost never gets a cold now!! The mmr vaccine has given him more terrible side effects than singulair!! M 4 7 months
