Dear Ashish Rawat
My suggestion to you is, try to drink warm water.
Have some Ginger tea 2 times in a day. Add some basil leaves too.
Have a cup of Green tea every day.
Join some yoga classes and do breathing exercise daily. Do it for at least 3 to 4 months on regular basis. It may help to clean your respiratory tract.
