Question 1

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 2

I've been dealing with a constant cough for the past five months, and a specialist I saw said it's due to allergies. He gave me some medicine and told me it would go away eventually, but it hasn't seemed to improve. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be considering or asking about?

Accepted Answer

take a course of antibiotics

Question 3

I'm having this issue where I keep sneezing every morning and it's been happening for months. I saw a doctor before and got some medications, but nothing's changed. It's been around six months now and I'm still stuck with this cold and sneezing problem. Could you suggest anything to help? I'm really tired of it and not sure what else to do.

Accepted Answer

Random blood sugar,hba1c,post prandial sugars are advised to the patient.
