hello!
do you have runny nose along with your sneezing? do you have blocked nasal passages? are you having headaches? how long do you have these symptoms? do you have any past illness? are you on any medications at present? your symptoms indicate that you might be suffering from allergic rhinitis or hay fever. Patients usually have running nose, repeated episode of sneezing, watery eyes, headaches, etc. for an acute attack antihistamines are the drug of choice (cetirizine-zyrtec 10mg once daily). You can use an intranasal corticosteroid for blocked nasal passages (mometasone nasal spray-nasonex,200mcg one spray each nostrils daily). You can use montelukast 10mg (montair)daily at bed time as prophylaxis.
hope this helps
Wishing you best of health. take care

Dear concerned,
Thanks for writing to us.,
In addition to being an atopic individual you may have other co morbid conditions such as DNS(deviated Nasal septum),Turbinate Hypertrophy,Nasal Polyps which may require ENT Surgeons intervention.
Investigate in detail including Sinus Endoscopic examn etc and routine blood(AEC Inclusive) and urine investigations.
An immunologists assesment regarding the allergen which has been responsible have to be found out by injecting various antigens. later they will do desensitisation therapy for a period of time.
Pls avoid dusty places/vehicular smoke/passive/active smoking.
Regularly do steam inhalations.Take anti allergic medications such as Oral fexofenadine/Oral Cetirizine/oral Chlorpheniramine Malleate tabs as per your MDs prescription for a temporary relief.
Timely use of Mast Cell Stabilisers(Sodium Chromoglycate Spray) will prevent severity of Allergy.
Steroidal Inhalants such as Fluticasone also helps many.
