What Should I Do For Frequent Attacks Of Cold And Cough Which Will Remain Until Two Weeks?
As soon as I am caught by cold I also start coughing. And the cough remains for 2 weeks untill I start taking some cough syrup. Is it normal? I can not take cold drinks or ice cream as I am afraid of cough. A little amount of cold drink leads to cold and then cough.
Please suggest what should I do.

Hi...you seem to have allergic rhinitis... allergic to sudden change in temperature... avoid all the things that trigger it...take combination of levocetrizine and montelukast initially morning and before goingvto bed thn slowly you can make it once daily after two or three weeks depending upon the response...
