Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic cough and cold which seems to be due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection due to poor or compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you start taking diet rich in vitamin C. Take multivitamins. You should take proper course of antibiotic Amoxicillin along with antiinflammatory medication Sinarest. Avoid intake of outside food and cold carbonated beverages. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Visit pulmonologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination. You should go for X-ray chest and pulmonary function tests as well and start treatment accordingly. You should drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Recurrent URTI-with ?With hypersensitive and low immunity.
I would suggest you to investigate for the allergic causes and or for the TB -AFB sputum with IGRA test to confirm the old TB giving repeated cough and allergic cold frequently.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
