Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 34-year-old female living in a cold country for a long time. I frequently suffer from colds. Can you offer advice on ways to overcome and prevent cold symptoms in such a cold-weather environment? Are there specific precautions to stay healthy during the colder seasons? Additionally, are there natural remedies or lifestyle adjustments that can help boost my immune system and minimize the impact of colds on my well-being? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
I suggest the following measures:
Make sure you wear weather-appropriate clothing at all times.
Keep well hydrated.
Build up on immunity.
Take a healthy balanced diet.
Take warm fluids during winter.
Keep nose, ears, and head covered in winter.
Time during the change of season is crucial; make sure you take precautions that time.
Take a vitamin C-rich diet balanced well unless otherwise contraindicated.
Stay away from addictions like alcohol, smoking, etc.
Get physically examined by an Ent doctor.
Check for paranasal sinuses.
Rule out the deviated nasal septum.
Turmeric is a good home remedy unless otherwise contra-indicated.
You can also use basil and dry ginger.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
