It seems from your symptoms and the patterns you’re experiencing that your body might be struggling with immunity and chronic inflammation. Your current Hb level of 9.8 indicates anemia and a vitamin D3 level of 18.20 suggests a deficiency. Both can weakened your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections like cold and cough. Also, recurrent keloids and the association of ear pain and headache is concerning. Let’s address these issues from an Ayurvedic perspective, aiming to balance your doshas and improve your overall health.
First, your diet is critical here. Focus on including iron-rich foods like lentils, spinach, and black sesame seeds to improve your Hb levels. For vitamin D3, sun exposure is important. Try spending around 15-20 minutes in the early morning sun if possible.
For sore throat and dry cough, consider sipping warm herbal teas. Prepare a brew with tulsi leaves, ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Drink this a couple of times a day. Use steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil to help with blocked nose and to ease headaches.
Keloid formation and persistent cold symptoms may indicate imbalanced Kapha. Try a light exercise routine, such as a brisk walk in the morning, which can help reduce Kapha buildup. Also, practicing breathing exercises like Pranayama, particularly Anulom Vilom, may aid in symptom management.
It’s crucial, as an addition, to avoid very cold or iced foods and drinks, as they can aggravate symptoms. Consume warmed, cooked meals for better digestion and to support your Agni (digestive fire).
Considering the recurring nature of keloid and the pain associated, it’s best to consult with a healthcare specialist, particularly if you haven’t already checked for signs of infection or underlying issues. Balancing your diet, ensuring adequate sunlight exposure, and regular exercise should be a priority. But remember, for persistent symptoms or if conditions worsen, seek advice from a conventional medical practitioner. Ayurveda can complement but should not replace the necessary medical interventions.
