Suggest Treatment For Upper Respiratory Tract Infection And Redness In The Eyes

I have what I think is an upper respiratory infection. I had acute bronchitis a few months ago and it took several weeks before I felt completely better. I have the same symptoms now, but I also have very irritated red eyes. Is this a return of the bronchitis or allergies? Should I see an ENT for this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and redness in the eyes which is due to persistence of infection in your body and due to compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. You should take all preventive measures. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. Do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get blood and throat swab tests done. Take proper course of antibiotics such as along with anti inflammatory medication such as Levocetirizine. You should maintain complete oral hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Dr. Harry Maheshwari
