Hello doctor, I m 23 yrs. old boy. ht.5.6 wt.63kg.From last 3 days im badly suffering from cough &cold, nose blocking frequently. I have taken 1 day dose of medicine from our family doctor. But I still didn t recover. The type of cough is very thick n yellowish. I need to drain it frequently with force due to this i feel weaken. From my childhood cough & cold many times occurs & also due to sour food eating immediately like curd, tomato, cucumber. I have sinus issue (deviated nasal septum toward right side). Im very tired of this frequent cough & cold. My exams will starts from next 2 days & im just unable concentrate on my studies. My immune system also not good. I feel weaken frequently & even not able to lift more than 6-7kg weights. This all affect my daily routine & self confidence. Please suggest me any remedial action for above issue & please also suggest healthy diet.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your cough and cold could be due to upper respiratory infection. It could be due to bacteria and virus.
You can ask following medicine to your doctor
Tablet azithromycin
Tablet diomenic DCA
Pallete of vitamin C to improve immunity
Cough syrup containing guaifenesin and dextromethorphan (Q tussin CF): 10 ml three times a day
Drink plenty of lukewarm water
Steam inhalation 3-4 times a day, use humidifier
Strepsil throat lozenges (neem and honey flavor):take every 3 hourly
Avoid cold beverages and exposure to pollutants
Do betadine gargle, avoid cold beverages.
Hope this may help you
