How to treat a running nose and allergy cold Please recommend any medications or foods to boost immunity and deal with allergic responses.

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Smoke, dust, pollen, and weather changes are common causes of allergic colds and runny noses. To boost immunity, stay away from allergens as much as possible, drink warm liquids, get enough sleep, and consume nutritious meals like fruits, vegetables, citrus fruits, ginger, turmeric milk, and foods high in protein. Antihistamine medications like cetirizine are frequently used by doctors to treat allergy symptoms, but they should only be taken as prescribed. Inhaling steam and gargling with warm salt water may also be beneficial. See a physician for appropriate therapy if symptoms are severe, frequent, accompanied by wheezing, a high fever, or breathing difficulties.

I experience a runny nose every year during the winter season. How can I prevent or manage it effectively?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

A runny nose every winter is most commonly due to seasonal cold, allergic rhinitis (cold-triggered allergy), or irritation from cold, dry air. In winter, the nose becomes more sensitive, and exposure to dust, cold wind, or sudden temperature changes can easily trigger sneezing and watery discharge. In most cases, this is not dangerous but can be uncomfortable if it keeps recurring every year. To manage and prevent it, try to protect your nose from cold air by covering your face with a scarf or mask when going outside, especially in the early morning or at night. Keep your surroundings clean and dust-free, and avoid strong smells like smoke, perfumes, or incense if they trigger symptoms. Drinking warm fluids such as soups or warm water can help soothe the nasal passages. You can also use steam inhalation once or twice a day to reduce blockage and irritation. Saline nasal drops or sprays are safe and helpful to keep the nose moist and reduce runny symptoms. If the problem is more like an allergy (frequent sneezing, itching in the nose or eyes, watery discharge), a doctor may prescribe safe anti-allergy medicines that can be taken during the winter season to control symptoms. Avoid taking random cold medicines repeatedly without advice, especially if symptoms are long-lasting or frequent every year. You should consult a doctor if the runny nose is very severe, lasts for many weeks, is associated with fever, thick yellow-green discharge, facial pain, or affects your daily activities. With simple precautions and proper treatment when needed, winter-related runny nose can usually be well controlled.

I have a mild fever. ache across the entire body. runny nose. exhausted. Could you please help me?

The most typical cause of your symptoms, which include a low fever, body aches, runny nose, fatigue, and weakness, is a viral infection like the flu or common cold. Rest, drinks, light diet, and medications prescribed by your doctor to lower temperature and alleviate symptoms typically help these conditions. The majority of instances resolve in a few days, but you should get in touch with your doctor again if you experience a high temperature, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or symptoms that persist longer than anticipated.

I have been having a cold for the past 3 to 4 months, and even after taking medicines like Levocet M, the problem keeps coming back. What should I do and is there any homeopathic medicine that may help?

Vikas Singh

A cold lasting this long is usually due to allergy or sinus problems rather than a simple infection. It is advisable to see a doctor to identify triggers such as dust, animal allergens or sinus inflammation and receive proper treatment. Simple measures like steam inhalation, saline nasal spray and keeping your surroundings clean may help reduce symptoms. Homoeopathic medicines have limited evidence, so it is better to follow medical advice for long-term relief.

Why do I experience nasal congestion every two hours despite using Otrivin spray and taking Levocet M daily?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Nasal congestion returning every few hours can occur from overuse of decongestant sprays, which can make the nose feel even more blocked once the effect wears off. Ongoing allergy, sinus swelling, or structural issues in the nose may also contribute. Gradually limiting spray use and consulting an ENT specialist would help identify the cause.
