Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Recurrent cold can be due to allergy. You can take antihistaminhes like Levocetirizine on a daily basis. The best and most effective option is to avoid exposure to potential allergens like dust and mites.
