What Causes Cold, Cough And Wheezing?

My husband frequently gets cold, cough and Wheezing. He was under homoeo medication for the past 2-3 yrs. Can you suggest an allergy specialist for the same as we would like to do Allopathy treatment now. Do you know any good Dr.s at Colombia Asia as we stay close to it.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I won't be able to confirm dr. in your area but for sore throat i would suggest you following things:
> Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough.
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
> Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.
> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. Recurrent cold would be due to allergy as well

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health.
