Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Question: I am having cold, with running nose, and frequent sneezing. I feel a bit weak but do not have any fever. I suspect the variation of climate is the cause of this but I am not very sure. Could you suggest any medication to overcome these symptoms? Thanks so much.

Brief Answer: Change in climate could be reason Detailed Answer: Hi, At this time I just want you to start modifying lifestyle to overcome the symptoms. You should start replenishing the electrolytes in your body with thin butter milk with salt and sugar and coconut water once a day. That will suffice. In my opinion you do not require medication, if you insist I would just suggest you antihistamines like Cetrizine 10mg for 5 days. They may be drowsy so be careful while working and driving. Hope this answers.
