Dear KomalI am prone to colds and sneezing.I have allergy to dust and this happens when the season changes to.Can diet and exercise help me?Can you please suggest?Shivani Mayekar

Allergy can be due to multiple reasons. You need to increase your immunity in order to reduce the frequent attacks of allergic reactions.

Have a healthy weight based on your BMI, follow a balanced diet with low fat and low simple carbs and include a fitness schedule.

Include immunity boosters like lemon, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, etc. Remain well hydrated.

Focus on increasing muscle mass and lower body fat percentage. Maintain normal levels of important blood parameters.

My grandson aged 4 yrs frequently have Dry coughing suddenly which aggravates in night more.. pl advise for his cure..Also advise for increasing his immunity. Overall his wt is 14 kgs , physique , intelligence, appetite is good.. Thanks Madam.

Ans: Weight is within normal range for his age though slightly below average. A cough that is worse at night could be a warning sign for asthma. Hence I advise you to get him examined by his pediatrician who may advise certain tests.
A diet rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables build up immunity. Avoid processed and packaged foods especially sweet stuff.

Health

Hello Doctor, My Son sneezes many times during the day - especially in the morning. This results into runny and blocked nose affecting quality of life and sleep. We are not able to figure out exact trigger behind this. Is there any way to resolve this?

Ans: Sneezing is a defence mechanism, one of the natural urge to push out an irritant from the nostril.
If this happens, many times regularly the possibility of nasal allergy through dust, pollen, incense, perfume, air cooler etc. If this is more in the morning I feel he must be already having a deviated nasal septum and small passage which gets congested with air coolers /air conditioners. If this is the case, then lying to the side of left before getting up from bed, regulating air temperature and using Nasoclear drops, will help

My son got CSE main in VIT Chennai in cat 3in second round of couselling, how do you rate as compared to VIT Vellore in placememts . Plz guide

Ans: VIT Chennai/Vellore has centralized placements, but Vellore usually attracts slightly better top recruiters, due to its older brand value. But there is no need to worry much more. Ask your son to focus more on studies and try to maintain the CGP for 4 years. Ask your son to acquire more knowledge through online courses, either on free or paid platforms, always to stay ahead of others.
