Suggest Medication For Severe Cold And Stuffy Nose

I had a severe cold in early november,which apparently didn't go away entirely, and now Ive been coughing for the past three weeks. there's a tickling in my throat, I also have to constantly clear it for mucus that seems to be stuck there,and added to that now is the chest discomfort i feel because it seems like my nose has closed up especially when lying down. I really need some help .

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe cold and stuffy nose and chest discomfort which is due to upper respiratory tract infection which is leading to sinusitis as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. You should take green tea every morning. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetrizine for 3-4 days. Avoid intake of excessive oily, fried and spicy food. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis and take steam inhalation as well. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests and X-ray chest done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
