Hi, The first step to solving this is a systematic approach to reach a diagnosis. Simply using these tablets won't help. I would like you to connect with me for a detailed consult. Do remember that it would take a while for me to fully understand your problems and atleast a 15 minute call might be required. Consult today as per your convenience

You could be having allergy to one or more things in your environment and or, what is being eaten or used over the body. Try using a face mask,  when moving out, removing a food item for 3 to 4 days from your diet and then resuming it and seeing the difference. Avoid cosmetics and toilette items with strong chemicals.

Frequent colds with a scratchy throat can be frustrating and disruptive. Here's what might be happening: Possible Causes Allergens: Year-round or seasonal allergies can mimic cold symptoms Viral infections: Common colds can occur 2-3 times per year in adults (more in children) Post-nasal drip: Mucus draining down your throat causes irritation Environmental factors: Dry air, pollutants, smoke exposure Vocal strain: Overuse of voice or speaking loudly GERD: Stomach acid reflux can irritate the throat, especially at night Weakened immunity: Due to stress, poor sleep, or nutritional deficiencies
Next Steps
Home remedies: Warm saltwater gargles (½ tsp salt in 8oz warm water) Honey and lemon tea (antibacterial properties) Stay well-hydrated with room temperature liquids Use a humidifier, especially while sleeping Try throat lozenges with soothing ingredients like honey or menthol Prevention tactics: Frequent hand washing with soap and waterseason Avoid touching your face, especially eyes, nose, and mouth Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours for adults) Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables Regular moderate exercise Consider a zinc supplement during cold
Health Tips
Consult a healthcare provider if you experience: Symptoms lasting more than 10 days Fever above 101.3°F (38.5°C) Severe sore throat with difficulty swallowing Shortness of breath Recurring infections that significantly impact quality of life Ear pain or sinus pain/pressure
