Greetings. I have had a cold since last monday, I have lost my voice and appetite since friday. I went to the hospital on saturday and my Dr said that it was only a cold. I have been taking ibuprofen and claritan D . Do you know when I will regain my voice and appetite back?
Hi, It seems that you might be having upper respiratory tract infection either viral or bacterial. you might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Azithromicin for 3-5 days. Continue with medicine you are taking. Do warm water or leisterene gargles. Give complete rest to vocal cord. Avoid fried,chilies, cold drinks and junk food. Ok and take care.
