Suggest Medication To Overcome Continuous Allergic Rhinitis And The Heaviness, Gas And Burning And Sour Taste Problems
Question: Hello,
I am 62 years old. I am on medication for BP since 2008. I am taking Olmin H40 one tab a day.
My problem is continuous colds and mild headache(in the nights) and heaviness in the head. I have consulted many doctors who prescribe medicines like Allerfix Total and Macberry cough syrup for cold and cough and for headache Aceclo Plus. I have been taking these medicines for quite some time and desired results are not there. I consulted ayurvedic doctors locally and for improvement of immunity they prescribed Chyavanprash initially and now Amrutha Kalash of Maharshi Ayurved. I have been taking this since a week.
As I am taking Allerfix Total and Macberry Cough Syrup it causes sleepiness and heavy head. I want to get out of this continuous intake of the above said medicines. I also have the problem of heaviness in the stomach and sour taste and burning in the chest area. For which I am taking Mahashankh bati, Dathri Lauh and Rabekind DSR (SOS). My bowel movement also getting affected because of the consumption of antihistamines and cough syrup. My BP readings are ranging between 120/80 to 140/86. Please suggest medication to overcome continuous allergic rhinitis and the heaviness, gas and burning and sour taste problems. I take Lactifiber and Divya Udar Kalp choorna mix for bowel movements.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Continuous cold could be low immunity
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Continuous or recurrent cold / cough could be due to low immunity or due to some allergies.
I suggest you to get tested to find the cause. Then specific treatment can be done.
Tests include complete blood count, culture and sensitivity of sputum, chest X ray PA view.
In general take the following precautions:
- Avoid air pollution as much as possible
- Do breathing technique regularly. It is available in yoga e.g. sudarshan kriya. Also spirometry exercises are good
- Head heaviness is due to the sputum and low oxygen. Can take half spoon of asthalin syrup when breathing is slow.
- Drink cleaner water and hygienic food.
-Avoid the medicines that are not helping. Body recovers by itself in most cases.
Do get back with the reports.

Brief Answer:
It seems gastroesophageal reflux disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Actually the answer to your questions lies in your query itself.
From your description its most probably gastroesophageal reflux disease. It happens due to lax lower esophageal sphincter and reflux of stomach acid into the food pipe and throat. That is why the symptoms of heaviness, gas and burning and sour taste problems. Presence of gas as described in Ayurveda is due to vata dosha. GERD can worsen the sore throat symptoms.
Overall its happening because you are taking too many medicines. Many ayurvedic preparations can cause acidity and stomach upset, so check about that with your Ayurveda doctor. You are already taking Rabekind DSR that will help control the symptoms.
My suggestions:
- Drink cleaner water and hygienic food
- Avoid unnecessary medicines or those medicines that are causing more damage then relief
- Take Digene after your meals when acidity is high
- Take thick foods
- Avoid spicy foods like chips and baked foods like bread
- Walk for sometime after food; do not lie down immediately
- Regular exercise; yoga is best
- Avoid tea, coffee, fizzy drinks
- Milk is good
