General & Family Physician Dr. Namala Bharadwaj's  Response
hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
it might be due to vasomotor rhinitis
vasomotor rhinitis where nasal mucosa is hyperreactive and responds to nonspecific stimuli like change in temperature and humidity , dust and smoke.
symptoms would be sneezing just after getting out of the bed in morning,
watery nasal discharge, nasal obstruction,dull headache.
treatment:
1 avoid physical factors change in temperature, dust, smoke
2 antihistaminics like levocetrizine 5 mg in night
3 if not controlled then budesonide nasal spray 2 sprays in each nostril two times day and titrate according to convience
4 if not at all controlled systemic steroids and surgical options are available
hope this will help you
regards
