Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Some basic home remedies can improve her condition and prevent recurrence:
a) Drink plenty of water or fruit juice to stay hydrated and keep throat moist.
b) Inhale steam or use saline nasal spray to ease nasal congestion and drippy nose.
c) Stay away from household dust, pollens, powders, droplets, smoke, allergen substances etc.
d) Take one teaspoon honey & tulsi juice in the morning or hot drink like milk at bed time is quite helpful.
e) Take hot shower bath, sleep with an extra pillow under head and vitamin-C supplements are very much essential.
Safe antibiotic like Cephalexin, Combined Amoxicillin & Cloxacillin etc along with Anti-histamine drug like Levocetirizine can be given to treat throat infection and common cold. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from her DOCTOR.
Otherwise she can have Zady 500 mg once a day. Continue with DOLO and Rendel. Oral lozenges wll also help.
In addition, she must maintain oral hygiene to avoid repeated infection. She can use HEXIDINE mouth wash regularly in addition to above and brush her teeth 3 to 4 times daily or after taking foods each time.
She should do saline gargles. To make a good warm saline preparation she should add 5 grams table salt to 250 ml of water and make it XXXXXXX warm.
Then do gargles after every meal or after you eat anything during day time.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
