My 9-year-old daughter always has a stuffy nose, even though she is active and eats well. Could her outdoor play in the evening be contributing to this, or is there another underlying cause? What could be the potential reasons for her persistent stuffy nose? Are there any safe medications or treatments that would help? Should I encourage her to play indoors, or would wearing a mask when playing outdoors help?

Ans: It is most probably allergic rhinitis due to the weather and pollution. Another cause could be enlarged adenoids. You will need to get her checked by her pediatrician who may advise X rays and blood tests. She will most probably need steroid spray intra nasally.

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

Dear Dr. Myself (43 M ) and my son (8 M),have a common problem. As we wake up in morning or randomly any time during day (but surely in morning), or a sudden exposure to ac ,there is sudden sneezing spurt that last 5 to 10 mins and on average sneeze 10 to 15 times with mild mucus. This prevails all-round the year . Both of us are not suffering from cold as such and nor any congestion in chest..My son goes school at 6:30 am and we think it gets aggravated with shower and to avoid discomfort in school , we ask him to bath in the afternoon.Its difficult to find if we r allergic and to what..or its something else. How can we get rid of it..

Ans: It is most likely due to allergic rhinitis. Medications like tablets or Nadal sprays are available
