Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a cold for a week now and I wasn't able to breathe through my nose at all. I'm feeling better but my nose is continuing to get stuffed up. I am blowing my nose more than I think I should. Is there anything I can take to get my nose completely clear s I can breathe normally? Or is this a sign of something?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold with nasal congestion which is due to upper respiratory tract infection leading to common cold.
I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as you should take cough expectorants. You should take anti inflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine. Use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. You should Chew a Vitamin C pellet. Take decongestants and mucolytic agents. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take diet rich in vitamin B12. You should take antibiotics such as Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 5-7 days. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood test and swab test done.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
