Hi Mary,
I couldn't find anywhere (in my references or on the Singulair web site) that state the medication can only be used for a certain length of time. However, it's important to keep in mind that Singulair was only introduced on the market in 1998. As long as the medication is working and your son is being followed closely by his pulmo and by you, he should be able to continue using the medication.
Best of luck,
Casey
