Brief Answer:
Symptomwise Approach
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following guidelines are worth mentioning:
1. Ordinary cold with throat pain is one of the commonest symptom seen in general practice, however you should consult an ENT physician who will inspect the throat with a good torch & tongue depressor to exclude any other possibility.
2. Common cold is a self limiting condition, aim is symptomatic relief
PS. mucosal edema causing intermittent blockage of nose is common in cold
3. Take warm/hot drinks often (hot tea/coffee/milk or soups)
. Takr mainly soft diet - rice,chapati, or phulka, with non spicy vegetables.
. Avoid fried foods like wada,samosa,dosa, pakodas,papad,namkeen and potato chips, avoid hotel food
. Do not take any cold drinks, cold water, ice cream, chilled food from refrigerator.
. Avoid sour fruits like citrus fruits,grapes, take sweet fruits- bananas,papaya XXXXXXX
. 3 drops of ghee in both nostrils.
. Deep breathing exercises
. Steam Inhalation and warm salt water gargles.
. Cover the mouth while coughing (using hand or handkerchief) to prevent spread if infection to other family memebers.
PS. since you are already under too much cover of medicines, prophylactic management has been provided.
