I'm having this recurring issue where every time I sleep, whether it's night or just an afternoon nap, I wake up and immediately start sneezing. This sneezing goes on for about 12 hours, and sometimes it even turns into a full-blown cold that lasts for a day. I'm curious and a bit worriedwhy does this keep happening? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

The recurring pattern of waking up with sneezing and catching a cold, lasting 1-2 hours or sometimes a whole day, may be due to allergies, dust mites, or mold exposure while sleeping; consider using allergen-proof bedding, washing pillows and blankets regularly, and keeping your sleeping environment clean and dry to reduce allergen accumulation; also, try using a humidifier or saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages and alleviate congestion.

View allI'm really worried about my 14-year-old son's allergies. He's been coughing a lot throughout the year, and it seems like any change in the weather makes it worse. Ive noticed sometimes when he sleeps, there's a whistling sound coming from his nose. What could be causing this, and how can I help him feel better?
Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.

I'm having a tough time with my breathing because of something that's leaching into my throat, nose, and eyes, but especially my throat. It's causing me to cough really badly, sometimes to the point where I vomit. I even have a weird voice when I breathe. I've seen a few doctors, and they say it's allergies, but they haven't done any tests or analyses. The meds help a bit, but once I stop, the same problem comes back, or even gets worse. They've given me Motemac FX tablets, Furamist nasal spray, and some syrup, but nothing seems to be fixing the root cause. I'm confused about which doctor I should see to finally get to the bottom of this. Should I be asking for specific tests or analyses to find out exactly what's wrong with me? Any advice here?
Patient is advised Ige test,X-ray paranasal sinus ,esr and C-reactive protein tests.Also Azeflo nasal spray 7ml in both the nostrils is advised to the patient.
