I'm a software engineer and I work in an air-conditioned office. I've been sneezing at least 23 times a day lately, and it's always in bursts of 12 sneezes. This is all pretty new to me, and I'm guessing it might have started since I joined the IT industry. What could be causing this sudden change, and how can I find some relief?

It sounds like your sneezing could be related to allergies triggered by indoor air quality, such as dust, air conditioning, or dry air commonly found in office environments. Using a humidifier, ensuring regular cleaning of the office, and considering antihistamines might help reduce the sneezing. If it persists, a consultation with an allergist could be beneficial.

I've been struggling with this annoying cold that comes back again and again. The sneezing starts out of nowhere and just doesn't stop until I take Montekl. But then, I end up with my nose all blocked and full of mucous. It gets so bad sometimes, and there's this burning in my respiratory tract, especially at night. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

Yes,continue same treatment.

I'm looking for some advice because my eosinophils are still high; the latest blood test showed 925. I finished my TB treatment back in July 2021. My cholesterol is under control since I had extra pulmonary TB in the heart area. I just need to know what could be causing thisis it some kind of reaction or allergy? I have a lingering slight cough, but it's not really bothering me. All my other tests for lungs, kidneys, etc., are normal. What should I do next?

it might be due to some infection, allergy, if you have all other functions normal then don't worry

I've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?

A runny nose is a common symptom of allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, which is an allergic reaction to allergens in the air.you can try with avoidance of allergens
