Hello Vaideh,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to know more bout you like - Did you have any such complaints in past? Do you have frequent respiratory complaints? If yes, since what age, what is the frequency of them?

From your given history, I would like to make suggestions as follows:

1. I would like to know whether you have difficulty in breath due to nose obstruction or wheezing/breathlessness "from chest".

If due to nose obstruction, I would suggest you an antihistamine (cetirizine/levocetirizine etc) and a decongestant nasal spray (not for more than 3 consecutive days).

If due to wheezing/chesty breathlessness, I would suggest you an antihistamine plus salbutamol containing cough syrup. Please get examined your chest by your physician in that case.

2. If you have repeated respiratory complaints, I would suggest you allergy testing.

3. Plenty of warm fluids and rest will help you for early recovery.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you a quick recovery and the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
