Brief Answer:
It seems to be a case of allergic rhinitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query on HCM. After going through the query, I would like to comment the following:
1. Your wife seems to be suffering from allergic rhinitis considering the fact that she has history of recurrent cold that has responded to Telekast L kid.
2. However it needs to be evaluated. A local examination of the nose and paranasal sinuses by an ENT specialist will help.
3. Investigations that may be required are Complete blood count including absolute eosinophil count, serum IgE levels and Xray Paranasal sinuses (Water's view)
4. Instead of tb telekast L kid, Telekast L tablet was also an alternative option since telekast l kid is primarily a pediatric formulation.
5. If diagnosis of allergic rhinitis is confirmed then a local nasal spray like AZEFLO nasal spray may be started by your doctor.
6. Avoidance of all allergic triggers li8ke dust, pollens, etc. is recommended
6. Thus at present I would advise you to continue your follow up with chest specialist, get an ENT specialist opinion and get the patient evaluated as mentioned above.
I will be glad to answer follow up queries if any. Please accept my answer if you have no follow up queries.

Brief Answer:
Allergic rhinitis can be medically controlled.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up query.
I could not find your attached reports. It's nice to know that fever and vomiting episode has subsided. Do remember that the cause of allergic rhinitis is an allergic tendency of your body or atopy. This innate tendency of your body cannot be changed however we can identify the possible allergic triggers and anti allergic medications can be used to keep the allergy symptoms under control.

Thanks for the answers. uploaded blood test reports. please do the needful one.
Brief Answer:
Cbc shows low platelet count.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Had a look at the reports. The cbc shows a low platelet count. You need to do a repeat cbc , dengue IgG and IgM and get the patient clinically examined by a physician urgently. Considering the fever episode there is a possibility of dengue infection. The good sign is that patient has symptomatically improved. As far as allergic rhinitis is concerned the management has been discussed in my previous post.
