Suggest Treatment For Frequently Occurring Cold Like Symptoms

I have seasonal cold problem happening from 15th Feb to 30th April and September to October. I normally consume warm water, do gargles with salt water and some accupressure exercise to relieve the cold symptoms. In accute situations I use citrizin and one tablet of it provide complete relief for three days. The symptoms become worse in contact of direct air and in morning. I want to know how to get rid of these symptoms happening in every season.Thanks & regards

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Persistent seasonal cold symptoms could be cause by 2 main things: respiratory viruses or allergy.Respiratory viral infections are common all year round with seasonal peaks in particular seasons with respect to the virus concerned.In your case, it is more of allergy.The best treatment is to avoid the cause even though identifying the allergen at time can be very difficult.I will suggest you continue with your home based symptoms relieving activities, avoid cold/cold air as much as possible.When symptoms are severe, take you anti-allergic citrizine or any other antihistaminic.If symptoms are persistenly severe for more than 7 days, you see a Doctor
Best regards
