Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chest pain, cough and respiratory infection which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection. Sometimes poor immunity of body could be responsible for this as it increases susceptibility to infection.

You should Chew a Vitamin C pellet.

Take decongestants and mucolytic agents.

You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy foods as it can leads to formation of acid reflux and in return chest pain.

Exercise on daily basis for 15 min.

Take cough expectorants.

You should take anti inflammatory medication as well.

You should take antibiotics such as Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 5-7 days.

You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water.

You should take diet rich in vitamin B12. Take soft and bland diet.

Gargle with saline rinses.

If symptoms keeps on persisting consult pulmonologist/ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get an x ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
