What Causes Running Nose, Sneezing And Watery Eyes After Nasal Tubing?

Posted on Mon, 12 Jan 2015

Question: I believe I've had an allergic reaction to nasal tubing when I had endoscopy colonoscopy yesterday, my nose hasn't stopped running since I opened my eyes after the general. I can't stop sneezing an my left eye is weeping, I'm exhausted, the procedure was at 8:30 yesterday morning! I took an anti histamine yesterday afternoon and it did nothing. It seems whe I try to breath through my left nostril there is a point up there that sets off a sneeze tickle, and I have to apply pressure to it to stop the sneeze. What can I do?
