Brief Answer:
cold seems to trigger a cold and cough in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome to HCM,
cold seems to trigger a cold and cough in your case. One obvious solution is to avoid anything cold.
However, sometimes we do end up doing something which we know is not good for us. At these times, you should immediately follow it by chewing on something like cloves or a piece of ginger. This may abort the attack.
Your second problem is that cough is not getting cured. For this you must gargle with warm saline water daily, and take steam inhalation with vicks or Eucalyptus oil.
The chest pain that you have after drinks is due to acidity and gastritis caused by the alcohol. For this, make sure you do not drink on empty stomach, and if necessary take some Omeprazole.
Regards
