Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough and cold which is due to upper respiratory tract infection is caused by virus known as common cold infection. It is mainly due to change of climate and change in weather conditions. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to avoid fried and spicy food. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should use decongestant nasal sprays like Otrivin along with antibiotic such as Amoxiclav. Take multivitamins to boost your immunity. Take tablet acetaminophen if fever also there. Use throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. You should take antihistamine drugs along with antibiotic combination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
