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
