1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. 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. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, When there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected.
4. Drink Hot Liquids --Hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat.
Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term

You can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, if pain still persists you can stretch your body by twisting the waist on both sides how we used to do in the school drill similarly you can try which will help you relax as well will reduce the pain. It looks like you are is important to check that. Anemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having back / leg pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for back pain.
•standing hamstring stretch: place the heel of your injured leg on a stool about 15 inches high. Keep your knee straight. Lean forward, bending at the hips until you feel a mild stretch in the back of your thigh. Make sure you do not roll your shoulders and bend at the waist when doing this or you will stretch your lower back instead of your leg. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

and alternate sides. Do this 10 times on each side pelvic tilt: lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and push your lower back into the floor. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then relax. Do 3 sets of 10.
•partial curl: lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Tighten your stomach muscles. Tuck your chin to your chest. With your hands stretched out in front of you, curl your upper body forward until your shoulders clear the floor. Hold this position for 3 seconds. Don't hold your breath.

•extension exercise: lie face down on the floor for 5 minutes. If this hurts too much, lie face down with a pillow under your stomach. This should relieve your leg or back pain. When you can lie on your stomach for 5 minutes without a pillow, then you can continue with the rest of this exercise.

ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation.

Stiffness have developed due to weakness of the ligaments &inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user ji
changing doctors every now and then I will not help you at all.
Please try to understand ankylosing spondylitis which is diagnosed by hlab27 is not an ordinary disease.
Well disease activity worsens, just tablets become in effective.
Be that anything including naproxen myoril calcium न्यूकॉक्सिया sulfasalazine methotrexate etc etc etc.
Sulfasalazine remains the mainstay of treatment in initial cases.
If you are not getting relieved by sulfasalazine then you have to consult a rheumatologist nearest to your location.
Iv drugs the new medicines which work very good in conditions like yours.
These medicines are called biologics. On the budget front they will cost you more than tablets but hundred times more effective than any tablets.
Please try to understand that changing doctors every month or two months and changing medicine combinations will not help you in any way.
You must get yourself checked.
Which includes blood investigations x-rays and other relevant investigations.
If a particular joint has eroded and been destroyed by the disease activity they might need a replacement operation which will bring you relief and you can stay out of pain for a very long duration of time.
Hello Mr. lybrate-user, probably your mother was diagnosed having rheumatoid arthritis which needs prolonged treatment. But continuing the aforementioned medicines (especially etodolac, deflazacort and pregabalin) without monitoring is not at all suggested.
Better you consult nearest available pain and rheumatology specialist. Or you can consult me online.
Take care.

Medicine can't give you permanent solution. I suggest consult to a good physiotherapist who give you proper and perfect treatment. With it use C3 calcium also.
Every patient has 3 choices: 1.Allopathy - gives quick results but is not very safe for long term use.
2.Homeopathy- is safe but very slow and in most of cases it can not stop the spread of disease i.e old patches show some recovery but new white patches continue to come even while using the medication.
3.Ayurveda -If one thinks about. It is difficult to find a good Consultant.
There are many queries about differential diagnosis ,causes ,triggers, is it genetic, diet, curable etc.
For detailed queries like: 1. Causes of vitiligo
2. Is it genetic or can it spread to next generation you can contact the clinic.
