I'm getting sick every few months, and I don't know why. I'm in Bangalore, and it usually starts with a sore throat and then leads to a cough, cold, and fever. The fever lasts a couple of days, but the cold and cough can drag on for weeks. I've noticed it can happen after I travel back to Bangalore or start going to the gym, or even sometimes during normal days. I've seen a lot of doctors, even at Manipal, but they just give me meds like Amoxicillin and cough syrup without looking deeper into what's going on. I'm really frustrated. What can I do to find a long-term solution for this?

I had a sudden allergic reaction after eating some fish a couple of days ago and was prescribed atarax. I was told to take it three times a day for five days, but after just one dose, my allergy was gone. Now, I'm feeling a bit odddrowsy and irritated every time I take it. Should I stop taking the medicine if my allergy is already better?

I'm dealing with a cough that's been around for more than 10 years now. All my test reports have come back normal, but it's starting to feel like it could be some kind of allergy. It gets weird because it feels like something is stuck on the right side of my body, from my nose all the way to my chest. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

take tablet tusq for 5 days twice a day
