Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Myself a 38-year-old woman. The temperature at my place is low and I have been dealing with this constant sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. I suspect it might be an allergy but I have never experienced it this intensely before. It is affecting my work, my sleep, everything. Is there anything that would help me manage these winter allergies more effectively? Are there specific treatments that could provide more long-term relief? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, it can be due to changes in weather and the body trying to maintain body temperature leads to inflammation and low immunity.

Steam inhalation with fresh pudina (mint) leaves or ajwain (caraway seeds) can be practiced once a day.

Lavang (clove) powder mixed with natural sugar or honey can be taken two to three times a day in case of cough or throat irritation.

Include plenty of vitamin C-rich foods that have anti-oxidant properties such as amla, colored peppers, citrus fruits, guava, broccoli, or berries

Consume a lot of ginger and garlic in soups or teas. Ginger turmeric water or tea is a great option.

Raw garlic or ginger with honey can soothe a sore throat.

Fresh or dry turmeric has curcumin which is a great antibiotic and antiseptic.

Consume turmeric milk or tea with a pinch of pepper. A concoction of tulsi, ginger, peppercorn, and cloves, boiled with water, and adding pure honey is a good option to boost immunity.

Fermented foods such as homemade curd, kimchi, and pickled veggies provide probiotics, strengthening our gut and boosting immunity, or add probiotic supplements.

Cut down on foods and drinks laden with sugar

Last but not least, stay well hydrated with water, detox waters, soups, rasam, etc.

If it continues do take the advice of a physician.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
