Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe cold which could be due to upper respiratory track infection specially viral infection and it could be sinusitis. It is due to impaired immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and betadine gargles alternatively , avoid eating spicy and heavy food and consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , vial culture test and blood test . Doctor may prescribe anti viral along with anti inflammatory Levocetrizine. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she find problem to be related with acid reflux .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
