Hello.
Of course, you can consult him to take the second opinion. And if you want, you can take homoeopathic medicines - arnica 200 and hypericum 200 - twice daily for 3 weeks and thereafter, get back to me.

WAYS TO SOOTHE SORE THROAT :
1) Gargling several times a day with warm salt water can reduce swelling in the throat and loosen mucus, helping to flush out irritants or bacteria.
2) Sucking on cough drops or lozenges stimulates saliva production, which can help keep your throat moist.
3) Staying hydrated is very important, especially when you're sick and your throat is irritated or inflamed. This keeps your mucous membranes moist and better able to combat bacteria and irritants like allergens, and makes your body better able to fight back against other cold symptoms.
4) A warm cup of herbal tea can offer immediate, soothing relief for a sore throat. For an extra boost, add a teaspoon of honey. It'll help the "medicine" go down, and it has antibacterial properties that may help you heal faster.
5) Always take the full course of medicine, even if you feel better after a few days.

Hello, Nose bleeding during winters usually occurs because of crusting due to to cold and dry weather. Liquid paraffin nasal drops may be used to prevent dryness, crusting and nosebleeds. If problem persists, then please see an ent physician in your area.
There are several things you can do to prevent a cold—they are all easy and inexpensive and worth the effort.
Wash your hands often-with soap and warm water.The germs stick to the soap and get washed down the drain. Always wash your hands after coughing or sneezing into your hands, blowing your nose, after touching someone who is sick, or when using public restrooms or telephones.
Cover Your Mouth and Nose When You Sneeze or Cough- Clean your hands every time you cough or sneeze.
Avoid Touching Your Eyes, Nose, or Mouth-Germs are often spread when a person touches a contaminated surface and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.
Stay Home When You’re Sick-Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, don’t smoke, manage stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food so you can fend off viruses.
In general you should:
-Take healthy balanced diet...like boiled eggs.daily in breakfast ..
-Avoid people who have a cold or cold symptoms.
-Routinely clean and disinfect common areas of your home.
-get plenty of rest so your body can use its energy to fight the cold
-staying at home will keep you from spreading germs
-drink plenty of liquids like herbal tea or hot broth/vegetable/tomato soups. Avoid foods or drinks with caffeine which can keep you from getting enough sleep
-Runny Nose and Sneezing- if you have post nasal drip, gargle to keep from getting a sore throat. Drink extra fluids. (avoid sugary and high calorie drinks)
-Use saline nasal sprays or nasal irrigation
• Tablet Nasorest-P once/twice daily may reduce the amount of mucous.
• Do steam inhalation once or twice daily
Treatment:There is a gradual 1-3 day onset of symptoms. It often starts out as a sore throat, then a fever and coughing. As the cold progresses, the nasal mucus may thicken which is the last stage before the cold dries up. A cold usually lasts for a week or two. But, taking good care of yourself at home can relieve symptoms and help prevent complications if you are otherwise healthy. Unless you develop complications, you shouldn’t need medical treatment. Complications include bacterial infections of the ears, throat, sinuses or lungs which must be treated with antibiotics.
Cough-Coughing is how your body gets rid of debris and mucus from the airways during a viral infection. Unless your cough is severe or is keeping you from resting at night, it is better not to treat it. A severe cough can be treated with a cough syp, but don’t try to completely stop the cough.
There are two types of coughs. Productive and non-productive or dry cough.
Non-productive, dry cough. A dry, hacking cough may develop near the end of a cold. Dry coughs that follow viral colds are often worse at night and can last up to several weeks. Take syrup Alex-D for a dry cough. Cough drops can sooth an irritated throat, but most don’t affect the cough.
Productive cough. A productive cough is one that brings up mucus from the back of the throat or the lungs. Productive coughs should not be suppressed to the point they no longer bring up mucus. Use syrup Alex. Drink lots of water if you have a productive cough.
Head and Body Aches- Take tablet dolo-650 mg for fever once or twice daily
You neeed to find the cause of this sneezing if it is going for long days. So look for your Blood -cbc, AEC.igE which will determine the cause. And then treatment protocols can be discussed.
It can be a sign of impending lesion in throat (may be an early warning sign of cancer), so stop smoking consult an ENT and get a biopsy done, of there is any tissue change. All the best.
