Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic tracheo-bronchitis.
Aggravation of symptoms on lying down can be attributed to
throat irritation secondary to
post nasal drip.
Examination of the throat using a
laryngoscope and X ray of the chest will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Management includes:
1.Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief.
2.
Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy.
3. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack.
4. Maintain adequate hydration & healthy balance diet.
5. Steam inhalation.
6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
So, it will be better to consult an
ENT specialist for proper clinical examination & start treatment as advised.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
