Do saline gargles daily. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of AC Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term please ask for consultation with detailed information so that I can help you better.

Hi lybrate-user. This is great to hear that you want to avoid antibiotics. Frequnt use may lead to resistance. But you can use painkiller and decongestants that will help you. But of problem not cures after 10 days or so. Go see and ent specialist and take antibiotis if its necessory.
