Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough and cold which seems to be due to persistent respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. As you are already taking medicine but not getting benefitted much, I would suggest you visit ENT soecialist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests and X-ray of chest to check extent and cause of infection. You should take proper course of antibiotic along with antiallergic medication. You should do warm saline gargles and take cough exoectorants. Take plenty of fluids. Avoid oily, sharp and spicy food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
