Episodes Of Rapid Sneezing, Running Nose, Triggered By Rise In Temperature. Heat Allergy?

Hello! I have been experiencing episodes of rapid sneezing, then followed by a period of time where I have an uncontrollable runny nose. I suspect they are being triggered by a rapid rise in temperature, as the symptoms occur after I exercise and after I take a hot shower. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. What could this be; a heat allergy, or something else?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Your symptoms looks like vasomotor rhinitis that is usually triggered by change in temperature. The treatment for this id avoiding sudden change in temperature. For the time being for symptomatic relief you can take antihistamine tablet like loratidine twice daily.This will help you.

Have adequate regular sleep, plenty of fluids, nutritious diet with required calorie and regular outdoor exercises.
