Suggest Treatment For Nose Congestion And Throat Infection

default
Posted on Tue, 9 Sep 2014
Question: I am suffering from throat related problems for quite a long time, however no major problems have been identified ever, but some or other problem is always there!

With a little cold weather, little rain water falling in hairs, there starts nose congestion and also a bit of cough.
Having ate a bit of butter or ghee (without making it hot but at room temperature), it causes cough or throat jam.

Because of nose congestion and throat infection, there also happens headache.

While cough is there, it gives pain in below left jaw while swallowing. When I press upward, in my throat, towards left jaw I do feel some pain.

I am taking turmeric+hot milk and gargles with turmeric+salt+hot water.
I was advised some medication as mentioned below, which I m taking now:

Odoxil 500mg
Cyra D
Sinarest Levo

Please advise.
Kindly note I am an G6PD Deficient patient and can't take many group of medicines.

I have recently undergone few tests as mentioned below and attached in my profile:

T3
T4

TSH
Renal Function Test
