Question 2

My nose tip has been itching really badly every morning. It's strange because it only happens in the morning, never at any other time of the day. Once I'm ready and about to leave for work, the itching starts, and it's really annoying. I can't seem to figure out why or what might be causing this. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Morning nose tip itching can be frustrating. Here are some possible causes:

*Allergies*

1. *Dust mites*: Exposure to dust mites in your pillow or bedding.
2. *Pet allergies*: If you have pets, their dander might be causing the itch.

*Environmental Factors*

1. *Dry air*: Low humidity in the morning can dry out your skin, causing itchiness.
2. *Cold weather*: If you live in a cold climate, the morning chill might be irritating your nose.

*Skin Conditions*

1. *Seborrheic dermatitis*: A common skin condition that can cause itchiness and flakiness.
2. *Contact dermatitis*: Irritation from a new soap, moisturizer, or other product.

*Other Possible Causes*

1. *Nose picking or rubbing*: Unconscious habits can cause irritation and itchiness.
2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin B7 (biotin) or omega-3 fatty acids.

To alleviate the itch, try:

1. Applying a gentle moisturizer to your nose tip.
2. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
3. Avoiding scratching or rubbing your nose.
4. Keeping your bedroom clean and dust-free.

Question 3

I'm having this issue where every time I sleep, whether it's at night or even a nap during the day, I wake up with a runny nose for about an hour and end up sneezing occasionally. I've tried taking a lot of different medicines but nothing's really worked. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with this persistent cold and a runny nose ever since I was a kid. It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure who I should go see for this. Could you suggest what kind of specialist would be the right one to consult?

You may be suffering from bronchial asthma. It would be best to consult a pulmonologist, who might recommend you be started on steroid MDI with antihistamine therapy alongside.
