I am a 33 years old male. For the past 8-10 years, I face cold, running nose, sneezing, cough etc. very frequently. Particularly during the weather change, it remains for weeks all together (not entire day but mostly in the mornings). For the past few months, I feel it has gone worse. I feel cough in my throat. During night, one could hear the congestion when I breathe. Things go a little better when I take OTC cough syrup or medication. I also got some tests done which came normal except for Immunoglobulin - IgE - Value 601 and Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) - Value 0.61. Does it indicate that I have early signs of Asthma?

Ans: Secretion in the throat could be due to Post nasal drip. This is, due to Sinusitisig E high indicates that you are hypersensitive to the environment
Apply mild decongestant nasal drops like Normal saline nose drops which relieves the nasal congestion. On a long term immune system needs to be in peace

I have chest congestion, shorter breath problem. I have been facing this problem for 4-5 years continuously. When winter about to end i suffered by cold and cough and this cold and cough turn into chest congestion and breath shorting problem. My Doctor sa says it is allergic problem. So is there any aasan or Yog kriya by i can cure my problem. Please suggest. Thank you.

Ans: You can start including Sun Salutations as they help improve circulation and breath through the congestion. Kriyas like Neti are also useful for allergic rhinitis. You can also include Kumbhaka Pranayama and Bhramari in your routine as both are useful for sinus congestion. However, the best way to manage allergies is to reduce your exposure to allergens - this could be by wearing a mask, using air purifiers and deep cleaning of the house every spring and autumn.

I am suffering from total nasal blockage, continuous sneezing and cough intermittently. It spoiled my sleep, daily routine. May please suggest what to do.

Ans: Sinuses need to have free flow of draining
Practising yoga will help in this proper drainage. Regulating breath through certain Pranayama techniques will augment healing.
Practising hummibg/Singing helps in this process too

Career

Hello Sir, At present I am appearing Class 12 boards. I want to do research work in human psychology as my career. In which discipline I should do my Bachelors for the same? Is doing MBBS is the only way to reach out in research field? Thanks

Ans: Hi,
Kindly formulate your query in a detailed manner so that the experts on Rediff can provide you with better solutions. If you don’t provide enough information, it will be difficult for them to assist you, as the gurus need to make informed predictions to answer your question. This platform is more transparent than others because you can see the profiles of the experts available here. Therefore, be open and provide precise details. Please note that the platform does not require personal information, and you can post your questions anonymously if you prefer.

Undergraduate (UG) degrees provide foundational knowledge, including how to conduct research. In postgraduate (PG) studies, you generally build on those basics. After completing your PG studies, you can engage in research, either full-time or by pursuing a PhD.

An MBBS degree is also just a basic qualification and is not the only gateway into the research field. You can conduct research in a variety of fields, including arts.

If you are particularly interested in human psychology, gather basic information on the topic and proceed accordingly. There are various aspects of human psychology, so consider which area you would like to specialize in and plan your path from there.

Relationship

I accidentally called my current partner by my ex's name while having a private moment. The second time I yelled when we were watching a movie starring my ex's favourite actor. Things have got a bit weird since then. I don't know how to talk about this to my partner.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Whether it was a genuine mistake or there are lingering issues that led to this slip-up, it is natural for your current partner to feel uncomfortable and even sad hearing you repeatedly calling out for your ex. I hope this much you acknowledge. Now moving on to how we can fix this- first of all, apologize; mistake or not, you can still say you are sorry. Next, have a clear discussion with your partner- ask her how it made her feel and what can you do to make it better. This way she can see that you are owing up and taking initiatives. Then, I want you to reflect- why is this happening? Did you get into this relationship before you could fully move on? Or have you been thinking about your ex? If so, why and is that fair to your present partner? I hope if you are honest with your answers, by the end of it you will have some clarity.

Hope this helps

Relationship

I have a crush on my colleague recently. We started as a friend but one day we get drunk on one of colleague house. We talk about life and love. I asked about his ex. He told his past relationship story how they break up. I also shared some of my past situationship. We live in a same colony. So we came back home together getting drunk I told him you can lean ur head on my shoulder. And he suddenly lean his head on my shoulder and he was sleeping and I wake him up when we reached our destination. He takes me to my house and I suddenly hold his wrist. I don't why did I hold him and next morning he yes hi (call my name)how are you I didn't respond properly I'm just like yeah good after that he seems to avoid me a lot he didn't talk to me much I caught him looking at me sometimes but it might be coincidence. I think he doesn't like me

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand it must all be very confusing but I would suggest not jumping to conclusions. You think he doesn’t like you, but he might be thinking the same since you did not respond to him properly the next day. That could have triggered his current behavior. If you have feelings for him or if you even miss him as a friend, I would recommend you to clear the air with him. Just talk it out- you can explain how things got a little heavy the other day and that’s why you didn’t speak to him nicely and apologize if that made him feel bad. If even after that he continues to avoid you, then you will have better clarity.

Hope this helps.

Relationship

Hey... Five years ago, I confessed my feeling to my crush. She declined my proposal politely and asked me to be friends. I respected her decision of putting down my proposal but i didn't want to in friendzone so I broke my contract with her. Since then we never encountered each other. After fuve years one of our mutual friends met her and she was asking him about me. On their 2nd meet, she initiated the conversation regarding and asking about me again in positive way. I know this can be her normal behavior. My friend told me that she was interested in talking about me and was kinda impressed from whatever my friend told her about me. I want to know about that if i am in her mind or if she wants to get connected with me or meet me ? I am kinda confused

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like you mentioned, it is very normal for old friends to enquire about each other, especially if they have not been in touch for a long time. It might be the same in this case. The only way to tell for sure is to ask her. If you are interested in reconnecting, you can think about the same and ask her once you are back in talking terms. But I would recommend not assuming anything and getting your hopes up.

Best Wishes.

Career

My son got 96.67 percentile in JEE mains in general category. I am from Kolkata. WB. Pl suggest where he can get CS.

Ans: Good Chances (esp. in CSAB rounds):
IIIT Bhagalpur – CSE

IIIT Ranchi – CSE / AI & DS

IIIT Bhopal – IT / CSE

IIIT Nagpur – CSE (Home state people have better chance, but still possible)

IIIT Kalyani (West Bengal) – CSE (you have a home state advantage here!)

NIT Mizoram / Nagaland / Meghalaya / Sikkim – CSE / ECE (CSE a bit tough, but possible)

GFTIs like:

GKV Haridwar – CSE

IIEST Shibpur – lower branches (but not CSE) – although being from WB, you may check home state quota branches

NIT Durgapur (Home state) – CSE cutoff usually closes around rank 20,000-25,000 (General) so not likely for CSE, but ECE, EE, or Mechanical might be possible.

IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Delhi – out of reach at this rank for CSE (very high cutoffs)

You can go for IT also. Syllabuses are almost same
