Recurrent throat infections signal an underlying imbalance that, in Ayurveda, often aligns with aggravated Kapha and Vata doshas. The persistent nature of your symptoms and triggers like cold drinks and high-pitched singing suggest a need for deeper intervention.

First, consider dietary adjustments. Avoidance of cold foods or beverages is crucial as they can aggravate Kapha. Instead, favor warm, cooked meals and drinks like ginger tea, which supports digestion and reduces mucus. Incorporate spices like turmeric, black pepper, and cumin into your meals to enhance digestive fire (Agni) and clear phlegm.

Pay attention to your routine. Eliminate late-night meals and maintain regular sleep schedules. Swollen throat in mornings might be helped by consuming a small amount of warm honey with a pinch of pepper before breakfast, aiming to coat and soothe the throat. Try nasal steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil before bed to open passages and reduce morning congestion.

Lifestyle plays a role in empowering immune response. Regular exercise, like brisk walks, promote circulation and the dispersal of stagnation. Practicing Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom, encourages deep breathing which strengthens respiratory health and balances doshas.

Using Triphala powder half a teaspoon before bed in warm water can maintain digestive health and support systemic balancing. For chronic issues, natural compounds like sitopaladi churna taken with honey may offer relief by boosting immunity and providing a gentle cough remedy.

Addressing the root causes, rather than just symptoms, over time would potentially decrease the frequency and severity of infections. If symptoms persist, consulting an experienced practitioner to personalize treatment and ensure all health aspects are addressed could be beneficial.

It seems like your frequent cold, cough, and throat infections could be linked to an imbalance in your body, likely aggravated by dietary and lifestyle factors. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such issues often relate to an imbalance in the kapha dosha, which governs the elements of earth and water. This imbalance can lead to excess mucus production and respiratory problems.

First, consider your diet. Limit cold, sweet, heavy and oily foods, as these aggravate kapha. Drink warm water and herbal teas instead, like ginger or tulsi tea, which can help balance the dosha and clear congestion. Avoid consuming dairy products excessively, as they may increase mucus.

Introduce some breathing exercises or pranayama techniques to strengthen your respiratory system. Practicing anulom-vilom (alternate nostril breathing) for about 5-10 minutes daily can help improve lung function and reduce throat and respiratory tract sensitivity.

For throat infection, try gargling with warm salt water, or a turmeric and warm water mixture, twice a day. Turmeric has natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that may relieve infection.

Consider taking herbal formulations such as trikatu churna (a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and dry ginger) if suitable for you. It can enhance digestion and metabolism, and reduce kapha-related symptoms. Make sure to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for proper dosage and suitability based on your body constitution.

Ensure your living space is free from allergens or irritants that could further exacerbate your condition. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it may be essential to seek further medical evaluation to rule out any underlying concerns that need immediate attention.
