Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat, runny nose and heavy feeling in chest which is due to upper respiratory infection due to poor immunity of your body. It seems to be due to increased susceptibility of body getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. You should take cough expectorants. You should do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get chest x-ray done along with pulmonary function tests done so as to detect level of infection and treatment can be started accordingly. Apply mist humidifiers in room. You should take throat soothing agents. You should take combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with antihistamine such as Levocetirizine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
