My child suffers from frequent sneezing and nose blocks, which keeps happening round the year, and when he/she goes for outdoor play. Why does that happen doctor?
Frequent sneezing, runny nose and/or blocked nose are common symptoms of a condition called “allergic rhinitis”. The symptoms may typically occur early in the morning when the child may experience bouts of sneezing. Some children may also complain of an itchy nose leading them to continuously rub their nose.
There are certain substances that trigger allergic reactions. In some children, symptoms are present only during certain seasons such as summer and spring, which are pollen seasons. Pollen acts as a trigger, aggravating the symptoms. These children get symptoms when they are outdoors. Others may have yearround symptoms due to the allergic triggers present indoors, such as dust mites, animal furs, and fungi. Symptoms may be mild. However, they may be severe enough to affect sleep and day-to-day activities. The frequency of symptoms may vary depending on how often they are exposed to these substances.
