How to get rid of snoring and coughing during cold?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. I appreciate you for uploading the sound clip (attachment removed to protect patient identity), which is a really helpful move.

The probable causes:

You are having the typical symptoms of asthma, and the sound clip showed that you have an "expiratory wheeze". When the airways are narrowed for some reason, it makes it difficult for air to pass in and out of the lungs and creates noises such as you can hear in this sound clip. Cough is a part of the acute exacerbation of an asthma attack. You need to have proper medicine for some time to get rid of the situation. You need reliever medicines to give you ease right now, as well as some long-term relief medicines named controller medicines.

Investigations to be done:

1. Pulmonary function tests.
2. Allergy test for asthma.

Treatment plan:

1. Combivent inhaler - A combination of Albuterol and Ipratropium bromide. You use this when you feel shortness of breath or the sounds you have right now with respiration. It means you will need it as needed.
2. Prednisone by mouth 20 mg twice daily for two weeks.
3. Azithromycin 400 mg once daily for 10 days.
4. Ebastine 10 mg twice daily for 10 days.
5. Ibuprofen twice daily for a week.
6. Cough syrup is available over the counter.

I hope this information helps you.

Thank you.
