Hello, I have gone through your query regarding throat congestion along with pain in the eyes and face. These are the very common symptoms everybody suffers sometime or the other in life. The result of a post nasal drip irritating the throat, an infection by the whooping cough bacterium. Pollution is another major cause, when small particles set in our airways when we breathe in due to smoke and dust. Either cough can be triggered by cold air, movement, talking, change of temperature, or laughing. Expectorant may be clear, coloured, stringy, frothy or tacky. A nervous habit during times of anxiety, removing the cause will lead to recovery. In fact unpleasant though they are, coughs have a purpose, it is nature’s boon in way of recovery. They protect our lungs from unwanted particles, infection, and the build-up of secretions that would otherwise lead to pneumonia. They also act as a warning signal for several serious diseases. Antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial infection with your physician’s advice. Decongestants relieve nasal congestion by drying up the mucous. Care must be taken as decongestants can excessively dry the nasal mucous membranes, which leads to further swelling and congestion. Kunjal therapy with Salty Luke warm water, drink 4 to 5 glasses of this water and vomit it out helps cleansing all airways, lungs, chest congestion, paving the way to health. A pinch of Black pepper turmeric powder in spoon of honey thrice a day is soothing to throat and relieves from anxiety. Warm water with salt and few drops of lemon juice, will enhance fast recovery. Hope this helps solve your query. In case problem persists you must consult a specialist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Suchda
