Cough & cold every month
Dear doctor,
I get cough & cold (sometimes fever also) almost every month. And it doesn't cure until I take antibiotics (usually for 5 days). I don't self medicate, however, every time I do try to resolve the problem by salt water gargle & steam. But mostly I HAVE to take the antibiotics.
Please suggest me ways to increase body's natural immunity to fight infection.
Or, if possible, some solution to avoid antibiotics.
Thank you

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You need to have a high protein diet and a lot of fruits, vegetables and greens.
One spoon of honey and some tulsi leaves will also be helpful everyday.
Exercise daily, yoga and pranayama are the best for people like you.
Best regards.
