Practice area
Cold, cough and fever
For colds, coughs and fevers that keep coming back, the doctor looks at the pattern behind them, so care is not only about the current episode.
Concerns we see
Recurring colds
Frequent runny or blocked nose, sneezing and sore throat, especially with weather changes.
Stubborn cough
A dry or wet cough that lingers for weeks.
Recurrent fever
Fevers that keep returning, once serious causes have been checked.
What to expect in a consultation
The doctor asks how often you fall ill, what sets it off, and how you feel during and between episodes. For children, a parent or guardian joins the consultation.
Keep any recent blood tests or chest X-rays handy. If you are taking other medicines, tell the doctor and do not stop them without advice.
Follow-ups help track whether episodes become less frequent over time.
Other practice areas
This page is general information, not medical advice. Treatment is chosen for each person after a consultation, and responses differ from person to person. Do not stop any medicine prescribed by another doctor without speaking to them first.
