Sneezing and runny noses that occur when the weather changes or when dust blows often affect our daily lives. The main reasons behind this are:
Allergic Rhinitis: This is due to the body’s immune system overreacting when dust particles, pollen, and pet dander are inhaled. This causes swelling inside the nose and leads to non-stop sneezing.
Sinusitis: When the air cavities around the nose (sinuses) become inflamed or swollen, you may experience a severe runny nose and headache. A chronic cold can lead to sinusitis.
Changes in weather: Sudden exposure to cold or humid weather can increase sneezing in people with allergies. Bathing in cold water and excessive use of air conditioners can cause a runny nose in some people.
Nasal Polyps: Small growths on the skin inside the nose can cause breathing problems and chronic colds. This can increase the amount of fluid coming out of the nose and cause sneezing.
Strong odors and smoke: Perfumes, sandalwood smoke, strong cooking odors, and vehicle exhaust can irritate the thin skin inside the nose and cause sneezing.
