Why do cough, cold, and sore throat last for years?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from a severe cold and cough for the past few weeks. I also have a bad throat, and there are sores in my mouth, tongue, and lips. I consulted a doctor and he suggested that it was an allergy. I am unable to eat anything, and I have had this problem for many years.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
It seems you have an upper respiratory tract infection or allergic bronchitis. I suggest you do the complete blood cell count with AEC (absolute eosinophil count) to confirm the allergy. I also suggest the instructions mentioned below.
1. If inflammation is severe and there is no improvement, then take a tablet of short-term Betamethasone (corticosteroid) 0.5 milligrams for five days.
2. Avoid excess spicy foods.
3. If oral ulceration is present, then take a vitamin B complex tablet also.
Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
