[|Human|] I have been experiencing re-occuring head colds. The symptoms usually last about 2-3 weeks and started happening in December. They include sore throat, dry cough, runny nose, fatigue, and labored breathing. I have had about 5 cases of the same-exact cold since December and I cannot seem to find relief. My doctor told me to try allergy medication which did not provide relief. I also tried over the counter cold medicine with no results. I have had asthma since I was a child which may explain the breathing difficulties but my health care provider noticed a heart murmur at my appointment last week. I am just wondering if these symptoms could be related with an underlying issue or if there is anyway to relieve my symptoms.
[|AI|]  Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. Recurrent runny nose, cough, sore throat etc. are usually due to allergies. I would suggest you to take daily regular montelukast & levocetirizine for 1 week. As you have asthma since childhood, and you are also had difficulty in breathing, I would suggest you to get a test called Spirometry with post-bronchodilator reversibility test done. This will help to know your lung function as well as status of your asthma. Although montelukast will help in asthma, depending upon results of spirometry, you may need regular inhaled corticosteroids. I would also suggest regular breathing exercises and avoidance of smoke-dust-air pollution as much as possible. Regarding heart murmur, Echocardiography will be helpful to know structure and functioning of your heart. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you best of the health. Regards.
