Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... hello doctor, good morning, i am from india my baby born in U.S. , till last year june month i back to india , my baby offenly suffered from cold but after taking medicine she is fine, again a ten days like that she is getting cold what is the remedy
Hi, I need few more clarifications:Whether it is always associated with several purulent yellowish nasal discharge or headache? Cough present always? Cough throughout the day or only during sleep? Recurrent cold, if not associated fever/purulent nasal discharge/ cough, we need not worry about. If associated with fever and purulent discharge, we have to evaluate for chronic/recurrent sinusitis. If cough also present always we also have to think of allergy and tuberculosis. Allergy is more likely if he sneezes a lot while in dust, nasal itching is there and similar illness running in family. Treatment depends on the cause that we identify. If I were your treating after examining nose and chest, I will order some basic investigations like blood count + ESR, chest X-ray, eosinophil count and IGE level, and manitou test for TB. You can discuss with your doctor, or get back to us with relevant details. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
