Suggest treatment for persistent cold
Patient: Hi, I m reema from Australia (age 23) I have cold 365 days n it becomes worse during winters. in summers it will be normal but i sniff when there is cold breeze. Its not exactly cold but i sniff alot when the weather changes. I m not sure about the reason behind this. i have taken multi vitamin tablets but its of no use. can u please suggest me some solution for this problem? Doctor: Hi I can understand your concern...You are having a seasonal allergy to cold...If needed to search for cause of allergen allergic test done....Allegra like antiinflammatory drug helpful for allergic infection..If having blocked nose fluticasone or azelestine nasal spray can be used for shirt time....In cold season you can use room humidifier .Hot water shower taken.Steam inhalation also useful for relieving congestion....If dyspnea occurs then spirometry done to rule out asthma ....Drink more water....Take care.You can consult pulmonologist for it.
