Hi doctor,

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your query, and here is my advice. Your symptoms are suggestive of allergic bronchitis. You are having an allergy to cold as mentioned in the history. I suggest you investigate your CBC (complete blood count) and spirometry to assess the severity and to look for eosinophilia if present.

You can be prescribed Montelukast with Fexofenadine combination drug for a week. If wheezing is present in auscultation, then use a bronchodilator drug in the form of nebulization if required.

Do steam inhalation with warm water three times a day. Take one tablespoon of turmeric powder with milk daily. You can consult a Pulmonologist for auscultation and a physical examination.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
