I have a common cold from last three years. Please help.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had a common cold for the last three years. I have tried many doctors. They only give me Montelukast tablets too. At first, they worked on me, but later on, these tables stopped working on me. I want to get rid of this.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
The common cold is a viral infection that lasts for days, not years. To treat the common cold, you need to take rest, stay well hydrated, use nasal decongestants, take Panadol Cold & Flu (Paracetamol, Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide), and
An antihistamine like Zicam (Zinc acetate and Zinc gluconate). Consult a specialist doctor, discuss the treatment with them, and start taking the medicines with their consent. If you have this symptom for a long time, consult a respiratory specialist to exclude asthma.
I hope the information helps.
Kindly revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
