Brief Answer:
Eat healthy, Stay healthy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for your question on HCM.

In my opinion you are having recurrent upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
URTI is most commonly viral in origin and influenza virus is the most common one to infect.
So in these cases better to get vaccination for influenza virus. It is yearly vaccine given annually, since virus changes itself after one year. So yearly influenza vaccination prevents such recurrent URTI attacks.

Avoid too much oily and spicy food.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Keep yourself hydrated.
You can take multivitamin tablet once daily to improve immunity.
You can take antioxidants rich food like fruits, green leafy vegetables to strengthen your immunity.
Avoid junk food. Avoid stale food.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
