Persistent Sore Throat and Cough with Dizziness and Gas Buildup - #36484

Ramachandran K R

I have had sore throat followed by cough for almost a week. Have taken Adulsa initially 5ml twice, but for the last 4 days it has been 7.5ml thrice daily. Also have had "Tusq" 3 to 4 times/ day for the last 2 days. I have also complemented this with salt water gargling twice + combo of milk + turmeric+ pepper concoction 3 times/ day. Cough has still not subsided. Additionally yesterday I missed my dosage around 4.30pm. To compensate I had a dose one at 9.30pm where I took around 7ml Adulsa followed by another around 12.15am (this was only 5ml). Today morning I woke up with feeling of dizziness +from yesterday evening, I have had gas buildup Can some one explain...

Hello mr Ramchandran Thank you for sharing the details You have mentioned that you had a sore throat, followed by a cough for about a week and taking adults and Tusq together The reason your cough has not reduced is most likely because your throat and Airways or irritated, even though the primary infection has subsided After a viral infection, the throat and bronchial tubes remain inflamed and post nasal drip or mild as it reflux can keep the cough persisting The dizziness and gas you felt after missing a dose and taking 2 close doses of adulsa later in the night or not surprising Adulsa can mainly lower blood pressure or cause lightness when taken in, especially when combined with another cough syrup like Tusq which often contains sedating ingredients Taking boat together can increase the sedation and dizzy effects Having them late at night after milk can also lead to reflex or gas buildup The combination of these factors that is excess close timing of those lying down soon after intake likely caused the dizziness and bloating Start on Lakshmivilasa rasa one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Sithophaladi churna 1/4 th thank you with honey twice daily Tulsi juice 5 ml daily

You do not need to worry too much but you should stop combining both syrup. Choose only one depending upon the type of cough. You have, if your coffee is dry and irritating take only Tusq 5ML3 times a day If it is associated with expectoration or if it is wet, then take aadulsa 5ML3 times a day Do not take both together at a time Continue wars water with salt gargling twice daily Warm water with a bit of ginger tulsi Avoid me at night If you feel bloated, take Ajamodadi churna -1/4 th warm water Keep meals light and avoid lying down immediately after taking food Once you correct the medicine schedule, keep yourself well hydrated and give your throat. Some rest. The dizziness and gas should settle within a day or two and your cough should start easing if the cough continuous for more than 10 days or if you feel breathlessness, feverish sensation or chest condition, then get chest. X-ray done. Once check your blood pressure and sugar levels also

Thank you Dr. Prasad. Very helpful especially clarification on the “dizziness & gas buildup”…

Today morning too had Adulsa with lower dosage - 5ml + 20 ml water, but again experienced “vayu buildup” especially in my back side. Just now took a hot water concoction of jeera, Ajwain & somf, which seems to have given some relief. Will be checking on my BP by today evening. Thanks once again for your inputs

Thank you for the update Mr.Ramachandran ji Take adulsa 5 ml 3 times daily do not exceed the dose Take easily digestible foods like moong dal Khichdi Do walk after consuming food preferably short walk Continue sipping saunf ajwain decoction in case of gas build up

Thank you Dr. Atul for the inputs

HELLO RAMCHANDRAN,

You are having sore throat, cough, gas formation, and dizziness

MAIN SYMPTOMS -persistent sore throat and cough 1 week -dizziness started today morning -gas/bloating since yesterday evening - you increased the frequency and dose of Adult recently

POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS -OVERUSE OF SYRUP= adulsa and Tusq both contains ingredients that I excess may upset digestion or cause mild toxicity - DIZZINESS= may result from mild dehydration, excess mucus drainage, disturbed sleep, or digestive disturbance (heavy for digestion when taken repeatedly) and irregular eating/sleeping can disturb agni (digestive dire) and cause ama (toxic undigested material buildup)

From an Ayurvedic standpoint, this picture suggests -Kaphaja kasa= cough due to kapha aggravation that has persisted -Ama formation and vata aggravation due to excessive sweet syrup, dairy, and irregular digestion-> leading to gas and dizziness - possibly a mild pitta involvement - burning throat, irritation

TREATMENT GOALS -Ama pachana= burn and remove undigested toxin -Agni deepana= rekindle digestion to prevent further Aam -Kapha shamana= liquefy and expel sticky mucus -Vata Niyantrana= calm erratic air movement (gas, dizziness) -Rasayana = restore strength and immunity once symptoms settle

INTERNAL TREATMENT

PHASE 1= CLEANSING AND BALANCING (5-7 days) Goal= reduce ama, clear mucus, restart digestion

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp + honey after meals, twice daily =stimulates digestion, melts kapha, clears throat

2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals twice daily =removes gas, balances vata

3) TULSI-VASA-SUNTHI KASHAYA (home made decoction)= 100 ml after meals twice daily =expectorantion, throat soothing, kapha reduction

Prepare the decoction by boiling 2 cups water with -Tulsi 5 leaves + dry ginger 1/2 tsp + vasa leaves 1 tsp + black pepper 4-5 crushed-> reduce to 1 cup

PHASE 2= HEALING AND REJUVINATION (10-15 days after phase 1 ) Goal= restore mucosal strength and prevent

1) SHITOPALADI + YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp each + honey twice daily after meals =cough relief, throat coating mild rejuvination

2) KANTAKARI AVALEHA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily =strengthens lungs, eases breathing

3) VASARISHTA= 15ml + equal water after meals =long term kapha balance, mild bronchodialators

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) GARGLING= warm salt water or triphala decoction twice daily =clears mucus disinfects throat

2) STEAM INHALATION= plain water or ajwain/tulsi once daily at night =liquifies kapha, relieves nasal and chest congestion

3) CHEST MASSAGE = warm sesame oil + pinch dry ginger powder before bath =balances vata, reducs tightness

4) FOOT MASSAGE= sesame oil nightly =imporves slep, grounds vata

LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS -keep body warm; avoid cold weather, Ac, or chilled drinks -do not sleep in the day- increases kapha accumulation -maintain regular meal timings- eat when truly hungry -avoid over talking or loud speech while throat is inflamed -adequate rest but gentle movement (walks) to prevent mucus stagnation -sleep by 10 pm , rise by 6 am

DIET -warm, light, freshly cooked meals- moong dal khichdi , vegetables soups, rice gruel -spices that kindle agni= cumin, ajwain, hing, turmeric, black pepper, dry ginger -herbal drinks= warm water infused with jeera + fennel seeds, tulsi tea -small, frequent meals rather than heavy plates

AVOID -milk, curd, panner, cheese -sweets, bakery, items cold drinks -fried, or oily foods -excess raw fruits at night -late night meals or irregular eating

YOGA AND PRANAYAM Start after dizziness eases, always practice in a warm ventilated space

YOGA ASANAS -Sukhasana= calming posture for bath awareness -Bhujangasana= expands chest, aids breathing -Ardha matsyendrasana= massage digestive organs -pawanmuktasana= releases trapped gas -setu bandhasana= opens lungs, releievs fatigue

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata pitta kapha -bhramari= vibrations relaxes throat and nerves -gentle kapalbhati= clears nasal mucus -nadi sodhana for 5-7 min daily

HOME REMEDIES -Honey + black pepper pinch= twice daily for thraot coating -Ginger juice 1/4 tsp + honey 1/2 tsp- morning and evening -Warm water + lemon + dry ginger pinch- detox and soothe throat -Jeera-ajwain-saunf tea- releives gas and bloating -Steam with Tulsi water- clears nasal blockages -tulsi 5 leaves + 1 clove + 1 cardamom chewed after meals - natural expectorant

Improvement usually seen in 3-5 days, for gas and throat irritation ,cough reduction in 7-10 days if diet and rest are proper

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

The symptoms which you have mentioned seems that you had viral / upper respiratory infections recently Do not worry But avoid taking both syrups at a time If you even have missed also not to worry cover with next coming dose instead of compensating 2 doses Tusq syrups are mild sedative that might have lead to your lightheadedness or dizziness N related to your gas - consuming too much of black pepper might be the reason Take Mulethi tea - sip warm twice daily Warm soups warm water Turmeric milk

Sore throat and cough are common symptoms that can linger, especially with initial self-care strategies like Adulsa and Tusq. What you’re experiencing could be due to vata and kapha dosha imbalance, which can sometimes lead to aggravated symptoms like dizziness and gas. Your current regimen seems comprehensive, but there may be adjustments needed to align better with your dosha and digestive capability (agni).

First, considering the dizziness and gas buildup, it’s essential to check that you’re not overmedicating or taking frequent doses close together, which might overwhelm your system. Taking medications too late at night can sometimes affect digestion and sleep, leading to dizziness in the morning. If these issues persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek professional medical advice.

For practical Ayurvedic remedies:

1. Focus on meal timings: Eating meals at regular intervals and avoid eating heavy, rich foods late at night is advisable.

2. Digestive teas: Try sipping warm ginger tea or cumin-coriander-fennel tea, which can help alleviate gas and support digestion.

3. Sipping warm water: Throughout the day, sipping on warm water may help soothe the throat and aid in balancing agni.

4. Tulsi leaves and honey: Chewing some fresh Tulsi leaves in the morning followed by a teaspoon of honey can pacify kapha, supporting respiratory function.

5. Manage your stress and routine: Ensure adequate rest, and engage in calming activities like yoga or meditation to balance vata dosha.

Remember to monitor your symptoms closely. If the dizziness continues, or if cough fails to subside, reach out to a healthcare professional. Chronic symptoms need a thorough review, potentially adjusting medications further under advisement.
