Hi doctor, I am 41 years old and suffering from bronchiectasis last 25 years and twice there was a hemoptysis - one at the age of 13 and last one in may, 2019 and in both the cases I had to hospitalised. I frequently got cold. When I was in a low humidity city for longer period for travel purpose then I feel better and also cough is naturally coming out once or twice daily but my hometown is in kolkata which is a highly humid weather and so I got cold frequently and also naturally my cough not coming out so I always feel back pain, chest pain some times, and sometimes shortness of breath. Which medicine can prevent frequent cold attack and which medicine can help to release my cough. Please advise.

1. Do saline gargles daily (preferably twice). 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. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.
