Hello,

You may be suffering from recurrent upper respiratory tract infection. Possible causes are like:

1. Post nasal discharge.
2. Chronic allergic pharygitis.
3. Acid reflux and pharygitis
4. Sinusitis with middle ear infection.

So avoid cool drinks and ice creams. Use mask while going out. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days.

Use tablet levocetrizine twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
