What causes sneezing after exposure to sudden change in temprature?
Patient: Hey, Doctor my husband  sneezes badly after exposure to sudden change in temperature. Even if he enter in a warm area from the cold one, he gets irritation in the nose and starts sneezing. He is suffering from this problem from past 7-8 years. He has been using nasal decongestions which gives him temporary relief only. What should I do? Doctor: Hello,Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your husband's history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. I usually prescribe my such patients montelukast + levocetirizine for 14 days.2. Please wear personal protective device such as mask or simply cover nose by a cloth while anticipating change in temperature.3. I usually do not suggest nasal decongestants for such symptoms. Excessive use of nasal decongestants can cause persistent nose obstruction.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish your husband a very good health ahead.Thank you & Regards.
