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

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.

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
