A common cold is usually caused by a viral upper respiratory infection and typically improves on its own within a few days, so treatment focuses on symptom relief; paracetamol can help with fever and body aches, antihistamines may reduce sneezing and a runny nose, and short-term use of decongestants can ease nasal congestion. Along with this, rest, warm fluids, and steam inhalation can provide additional comfort. Antibiotics are not needed unless a bacterial infection is confirmed. Consult a doctor if symptoms last more than a week, worsen, or include high fever or breathing difficulty.

Your daily exposure to coal dust is likely the main reason Deslor and Prothedin aren't providing full relief. This dust acts as a constant physical irritant to your airways, causing persistent mucus and a raw throat that these medications cannot completely block. Additionally, some treatments can dry the throat, worsening the rawness. Protecting your airways with a proper dust mask at work and using saline rinses can help. Please consult your doctor to evaluate your lung health and discuss stronger airway protection or treatment adjustments.

A sudden onset of continuous nasal discharge since yesterday is most likely due to a common cold, medically called viral upper respiratory infection, and it usually improves within a few days with supportive care. For relief, you can take paracetamol for body aches or fever, an antihistamine to reduce sneezing and runny nose, and a short course of a decongestant if there is nasal blockage (only for a few days and as advised). Steam inhalation, warm fluids, rest, and staying hydrated can help you recover faster. You should see a doctor if symptoms last more than 5-7 days, worsen, or are associated with high fever, severe headache, or breathing difficulty.

Small, fluid-filled, itchy blisters on the fingers are often due to a condition called dyshidrotic eczema, though sometimes fungal infection or contact allergy can also cause similar symptoms, so proper diagnosis is important. Treatment usually includes keeping the hands clean and dry, avoiding irritants like detergents or excessive water exposure, and applying a mild to moderate steroid cream (as prescribed by a doctor) to reduce itching and inflammation; antihistamine tablets may also help relieve itching. In some cases, antifungal treatment may be needed if an infection is suspected. It is best to avoid scratching to prevent worsening or infection. If the blisters persist, spread, or become painful, a doctor or dermatologist should be consulted for confirmation and appropriate treatment.

Continuous sneezing for several days without fever or other cold symptoms is most commonly due to Allergic Rhinitis, where triggers like dust, pollen, smoke, weather changes, or strong smells irritate the nasal lining. This is not an infection, so antibiotics are usually not needed. Instead, treatment focuses on avoiding triggers (keeping your surroundings clean, using a mask in dusty areas), doing steam inhalation, and using antihistamine tablets or saline nasal sprays if needed, as advised by a doctor. Keeping your room dust-free, washing bedding regularly, and staying hydrated can also help reduce symptoms. If the sneezing persists beyond a week, becomes severe, or is associated with nasal blockage or sinus pain, you should consult a doctor for further evaluation and proper medication.

Since desloratadine (Deslor) and dosulepin (Prothedin) haven't fully relieved your symptoms after six months, it is possible your throat irritation is due to laryngopharyngeal reflux (silent reflux), where stomach acid travels up to the throat, causing mucus buildup and night coughing. Another possibility is chronic post-nasal drip or throat hypersensitivity. Please consult your doctor or an ENT specialist to reassess your treatment. Adjusting your medications or exploring specific reflux treatments might be needed. In the meantime, sleeping with your head elevated and avoiding late meals can offer some gentle relief.
