Hi I am fedup of my cold and cough. Can you please tell me some remedy so that I can get rid of my cold and cough permanently.

Question

You seem to be suffering from perennial rhinitis leading to secondary respiratory infection off and on causing cough. Save yourself from common allergens like dust, smoke, pollens by covering your nose. Keep away from places where cleaning is going on. Use freshly laundered bedsheets and pillow covers as these are the commonest sources of allergens. In case a bout of running nose and sneezing starts, get some antihistamine preparation from your family physician immediately without waiting for day 2 or day 3 as the flowing secretions tend to descend the respiratory tract and then later on antihistamines make them more viscid and difficult to cough out. Don't use cough suppressants like corex or phensidyl. Instead get some good expectorant for initial 2 or 3 days only to bring out any tough secretion out. Following all this must help you a lot in future.
