You're suffering from recurrent Urinary tract infection. This may be because of post voiding residual urine due neurogenic bladder cause by paraplegia. The residual urine in the bladder acts as a good culture media for the bacterias. So voluntary voiding of urine at regular intervals will prevent UTI's. Regarding cough and nasal stuffiness, this may be due to viral infection.
