Brief Answer:
Kindly provide more detaila
Detailed Answer:
Hii. Hope you are doing well.
The history you have given is insufficient. Do you have any history of allergic symptoms like sneezing, watering nose,headache,trauma? Do you have any dental procedure done? Its very unlikely to decrease any swelling only by sneezing. It may be that you are having allergic rhinosinusitis. Do a X ray Paranasal sinus and endoscopy nose by ENT surgeon. Review with the reports. In the meantime you can start nasal fluticasone spray, antiallergic tablet.

So do endoscopy nose,x ray paranasal sinus and eye check up and review with reports.
