[|Human|] Im allergic to cold and slightest of cold wind gets me down with cough cold fever.This time it persisted for long and did not healed after 3-5 days medication.I then saw a specialist and after XRay of nasal passage and examination he diagnosed it a minor case of rhinosinusitis.He put me on heavy antibiotic(1000mg Clavam twice aday) with anitallergic(snizid) and vitamins for 7 days and told it will take a month of recover from the infection.I kept visiting him for a month every 8th day where he reduced the capacity of antibiotics and antiallergics and the salt.In my last visit he again got my XRay done and told to take 7 day course and no need to come.Then he prescribed Telekast L.He adviced to take onetab a day extended for 14 days when I told him I easily catch cold. Ive been regular on my medicines but a day before I came out in morning without woollen cap covering my ears and happen to catch same cough and soar throat.I have been gargling and taking steam1/2 a day. How do I cure and increase stamina against cold so I do not fall prey at slightest of exposure.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. As an Allergist-Immunologist, I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollen, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This will help you identify the substances you may be allergic to and also to know the measures to avoid them.2. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms over long duration.3. Treatment of rhinosinusitis requires a lot of patience and care. Regular steam inhalation, usually twice a day, is very helpful in rhinosinusitis.4. I also prescribe my such patients regular montelukast + Levocetirizine (Telecast L that you are using) for long periods.5. X-rays pick up changes in sinus cavity very late, so I usually do not suggest repeated X-rays to decide treatment.6. I would also suggest you regular breathing exercises like Panama which may help over a long time.7. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.8. Regular healthy dietary habits like a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, adequate fluids during day to maintain HY Chat Doctor. 9. Cold air does not cause "allergy", but it acts as an irritant. So it is always advisable to avoid exposure to cold air by adequate covering nose and ear openings as well as scalp by proper clothing. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
