Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:
1. I suggest my such patients an antihistamine like cetirizine and an expectorant cough syrup for 5-7 days.
2. I would also suggest you regular steam inhalation and warm saline gargles for 5-7 days.
3. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible till recovery.
4. Please take plenty of liquids during day, have adequate rest and have a light, nutritious diet to help quick recovery.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health and a very good recovery.
Thank you & Regards.
