I've been dealing with sudden sneezes and itchy eyes for the past year. It always seems to come back after the meds wear off. I'm a bit concerned and curious about why this keeps happening. Is there something more I should be doing, or is it just allergies acting up?

A small cut in the uvula can be painful.

Gas and acidity might be contributing factors.

Consult a doctor or an ENT specialist for proper evaluation.

In the meantime:

  • Gargle with warm salt water
  • Avoid spicy, acidic, or sharp foods
  • Try antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta

Do not self-medicate. A professional diagnosis will guide appropriate treatment.

I've been struggling with allergic rhinitis for a while and honestly, it feels like I've tried it all, but nothing seems to work long-term. Every treatment I've gone through just offers short-lived relief. Is there actually a permanent cure for this? It's really becoming frustrating, and I'd love to know if there's something more effective out there.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for allergic rhinitis. However, there are medications that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) can help relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Nasal corticosteroid sprays like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasacort (triamcinolone) can reduce inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe immunotherapy to desensitize your body to allergens over time. It is important to continue treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider for long-term management of allergic rhinitis.
