If you’ve been battling that stubborn cold and nose blocks, Ayurveda has a few strategies up its sleeve. Importantly, the fact that you’re not experiencing fever is a good sign, but losing smell and taste points towards Kapha imbalance typically. It’s great you already tried azithromycin, but sometimes we need a different approach for quick relief.

First, Nasya - which is an Ayurvedic nasal treatment might help. Use a suited herbal oil like Anu Taila, which you can gently warm and instill 2-3 drops into each nostril twice a day. This helps to clear blockage and restore smell. Make sure you’re in a sit-up position so it effectively reaches your sinuses.

For the throat and an overall immune boost, try a decoction known as Kadha. Simmer ginger, black pepper, and tulsi in water for about 10 minutes, strain and sip on this 2-3 times a day. It helps in reducing cold symptoms and unclogged your respiratory passages.

Steaming is also a simple yet effective way to relieve congestion. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to hot water and inhale the steam carefully, drape a towel over your head to trap steam, and do this for about 10 minutes. This can also help in regaining your sense of smell and taste.

In terms of diet, stick to light and warm foods, rich in spices like cumin and black pepper to kindle the digestive fire, which strengthens immunity. Avoid cold and heavy foods as they may increase Kapha and aggravate your condition.

Rest is essential too, as it allows the body to heal more swiftly. Hydrate often with warm water or herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile. If symptoms persist, it’s wise to check in with a healthcare professional.
