I am 62 year old man in general good health, recently I had stayed awake whole night witnessing a temple festival programme, where a lot of dust was generated due to large crowd as well as getting wet in the heavy downpour towards early morning. The very next day I had felt throat irritation followed by running nose and a little chill now and then. I aggravated this by taking brandy with hot water thinking it will cure my cold. Now what medicine should I take to cure myself. I am due to travel long distance on sunday that is 36 hrs from now. Thank you.

Dear user you can chew Ginger to relax your cough problem. Make sure that everytym you are drinking water its warm and avoid exposure to dust for some days you can wear a mask to cover your mouth and nose. Also avoid citric things for some days. And the best thing you can do is drink 1 tbsp of turmeric in lukewarm milk before going to bed for three days continuously. Hope you get well soon .tc.
