How are antibiotic-resistant infections treated in Ayurveda?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old male. I was addicted to cold drinks, which had been causing me to catch colds over the past nine years. Doctors treated me with antibiotics such as Amoxicillin, Cloxacillin, Moxifloxacin, Cefpodoxime, Azithromycin, and Cephalexin, which worked very well many times. I have controlled this bad habit for quite a while but carelessly consumed a cold drink a year ago and have been ill since then.

No antibiotic is working now, and the doctor said the infection has grown resistant to these antibiotics and gave up. Now I have sneezing, a warm body and breath, headache, weakness, and sometimes a runny nose. I am looking for Ayurvedic medication if possible.

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest you try the following Ayurvedic medicines for cold and its associated symptoms:

  1. OCEM-5 drops (Tulasi, Manjarika, and Tungi): Two drops in a glass of lukewarm water twice a day.
  2. Indukantham Kashayam: 0.51 ounces mixed with 1.69 fluid ounces boiled and cooled water, taken twice a day half an hour before food.
  3. Haridra Khanda Churna: One teaspoon twice a day with honey after food.

Continue this for two weeks and review with an Ayurveda specialist afterward.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
