Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough
I had cataract surgery Monday, and it was very successful. I can see at a distance better than any time since i was 17.
Unfortunately today I developed a nasty cold and am coughing quite a bit. I am taking cough medicine, but is there any thing else I should be doing

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold and cough which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room and take throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
