I am a 17 yr old male. I am very much prone to cough and cold. They occur to me frequently i. E after one week or so and only if I am at home for complete one day. There is no problem if I am out of home. I visited doctor last week he gave me some tablets but as soon as I stop taking them I again catch cough and cold. Mucous keeps coming out of my nose for whole day and I keep sneezing for the whole day I am fed up of it. Sneezing causes too much of head ache. What is the problem and whatshould I do? The tablets given to me are immunity and jotair la how much time will it take for these tablets to take complete effect?
