How to get rid of chest and nose congestion and cough?
Hello doctor,
I have a chest congestion and nose block leading to the formation of a thick yellow mucus when I wake up in the morning. This started after a recent weather change in my city and I have this problem for a week now. I have not taken any medication yet. I do not have any other health issues except hyperacidity and GERD symptoms. In the mornings, if I clear the mucus, I feel relieved. The cough is phlegm-based and arises from within. Can you suggest a dose of antibiotic that will clear my throat and cough?

What could be the reason of itchy nose and sneeze upon waking up?
Hello doctor,
I am having a sneezing problem. Every morning, once I wake up, I immediately get an itchy nose and start sneezing. I have been facing this issue for the past four years. Whenever I went to the general practitioner, they suggested hay fever tablets (Cetirizine). Taking one tablet provided relief for one or two days, but then the sneezing started again, even if I continued the prescription. The doctor later recommended taking two tablets. I have not taken any medicine for the past year, but I still have some problems in the morning. Kindly help.

I am using Tozaar 50, one tablet for my hypertension and Amaryl 1 mg, half tablet before break fast and half tablet before dinner, for my diabetes. Of late, during intercourse, I am not able to sustain an erection. But erections during sleep is good. I am unable to enjoy as I used to earlier. My doctor advised using Troynuron SR. I am afraid of using this with an apprehension of side effects. Please suggest me what can I take to enjoy my family life as earlier. I go for walking and do yoga regularly for maintaining my sugar levels, and they are under control. The fasting reading will usually be 125, and rarely if I neglect walking due to any reason, the reading will be 135. Post prandial level is always normal. Blood pressure is always 130/85.
