Running nose and sneezing

I am troubled by a runny nose and sneezing. I don’t have any other problem. This issue has been happening for the past one month. When I take medicine, it gets better, but then it comes back again. This keeps happening again and again. I have taken a lot of medicine already, including about 40 tablets of Bilastine, but it is not getting cured permanently. The problem mostly happens in the morning and evening. Please help me. I don’t have much money, so kindly recommend an affordable medicine or solution.

Laryngitis since 1 month

Respected Doctor, I had cold and fever by 27 Feb and voice hoarseness from 1 march. I have taken self medication like Azithromycin (3 Days OD) and Cefuroxime Axetile (2 days BD) with anti allergic and Dolo 650 from 27 Feb to 06 March. After this I got relief only in fever and cold. The prescriptions for all the treatments I underwent during 6 to 22 march are attached. I have not taken any medication since march 22. Despite undergoing all these treatments, I have not experienced any satisfactory improvement. Laryngoscopy is also done by ENT. Still My voice is hoarse, though less so than before. After speaking for a short while, my voice begins to crack and fade. Immediately upon waking up in the morning, I cant produce any sound at all, as if mucus has accumulated in my throat. My voice clears up after inhaling steam or drinking warm water. I mostly have a dry cough, sometimes wet. At times, I experience a pulling sensation or itching in either my left or right ear. Please help 🙏

Do excessive frequent coughing cause 🩸?

Hey doc, i have ocd so i did frequent intentional coughs. And got bleeding like in august,December 2025 once. Then in january and march 2026 once. Whenever I do not cough I don't get any blood. During feb 27- march 5 2026, i had a cold and cough. At that time I didn't get any blood. Is it normal to get a little streak whenever we cough hard and intentionally many times? I also have a history of smoking from 2019-2022= 3 a day 2024 aug-2026 march= 9 a day. So I was worried that maybe my smoking had caused CA.

Throat hurting frequently

My thought hurts when I drink cold stuff or eat sweets like laddu, jam or grapes. I have been avoiding these things but due to hot weather, I need to drink cold water or juice. Similarly, due to sweet cravings, I eat sweets sometimes. What can I do? I just finished a course of Azithral 5 tablets. Still throat is hurting as if some sharp object is there. Kindly advise.
