Question

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from severe cold and cough problem. I feel there is a blockage in my chest and throat. I have taken several antibiotics from different doctors, but it is not helping. Because of this, I get fever, body ache, headache and ear pain as well. I had a blood test and chest X-ray as well but everything seems normal. I am not able to recover.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do you face difficulty in taking breath sometimes? Because chest tightness and other symptoms you are telling may be due to reactive airway disease like asthma. I suggest you do a pulmonary function test with bronchodilator reversibility for the diagnosis of asthma.

I suggest you take a combination of Montelukast 10 plus Levocetirizine 5 mg for the time being. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

You can take Duolin (combination of Salbutamol and Ipratropium bromide) inhaler two puffs twice daily which will relieve your symptoms of chest tightness.

I am suffering from severe cold and cough. Please help me recover.
