Sneezing — Which Doctor Should I See?
Sneezing is a reflex that expels air through the nose and mouth. It can result from allergies, cold, irritants, or infection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sneezing?
Sneezing is triggered by irritants in the nasal passages, such as dust, pollen, pet dander, or cold viruses. It's a reflex that helps clear the nose of these irritants.
When should I see a doctor for sneezing?
Seek medical attention if sneezing persists for more than two weeks, is accompanied by severe symptoms, or interferes with daily activities. It may indicate allergies or an infection.
How can I stop sneezing?
Reduce exposure to triggers like allergens and irritants. Use saline nasal drops, antihistamines, or decongestants. Keeping your environment clean and humid can also help minimize sneezing episodes.
