Question 1

During the cold season, I find I keep sneezing if I wake up around 7 am. It lasts for about an hour. But if I get up later, like after 8 or 9, it doesn't seem to bother me much. I'm kind of worried about what's causing this and what I can do to help it. Any thoughts?

Question 2

My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes:

*Allergies*

1. *Dust mites*: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding.
2. *Pet allergies*: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch.

*Environmental Factors*

1. *Dry air*: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness.
2. *Cold weather*: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose.

*Skin Conditions*

1. *Seborrheic dermatitis*: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness.
2. *Contact dermatitis*: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product.

*Other Possible Causes*

1. *Nose picking or rubbing*: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness.
2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids.

To alleviate the itch, try:

1. Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip.
2. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
3. Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose.
4. Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.

Question 3

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?

Accepted Answer

I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.

start taking precautions like avoid cold weather, wear mask in that season
