Question : I am facing regular cough and cold.

Brief Answer:
Chronic cough and cold: Take these medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I would say that your problem of "regular" cough and cold has become chronic. There could be different reasons for this. You might be having sinus problems.
You might be suffering from a lung infection. And finally, you might be allergic
to something in your environment.

I would strongly suggest that you take Bromhexine cough syrup.
For the cold, I would ask you to take an antihistaminic like Levocetrizine.

Do write back to me for any further doubts or questions about your health.

You're welcome anytime.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

I would kindly ask you to take long term low dose antihistaminics like allegra, in case of you suspecting that the cause of your "cold" is the dust in the environment.

Thanks for using health care magic.
Take care,
