Hi, I understand your query. sore throat,runny nose, nasal congestion,difficulty in breathing you have seems to be allergic with possibly secondary infection ( viral / bacterial) . -Blood changes because of allergy cause involvement of respiratory passage & breathlessness. -Inflammation& blockage of of sinuses with excess nasal secretions give rotten smell to nasal secretions., -Blocking of Eustachian tube leads to dizziness & nausea. * self care ( vapor inhalation, avoiding allergens,avoiding cold ,fried,sour eatables), Investigations ( TLC/DLC), consultation of ENT specialist & medicines ( anti allergic, hetrazan, cough syrups, bronchodialaters ) as per advise would help. Thanks.
