I've been noticing that whenever I touch something colder than the usual temperature, I start to sneeze. It's also happening with the early morning breeze sometimes, giving me that sneezing sensation. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a common reaction?

For relief, try:

Antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine)

Decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine)

Nasal sprays (e.g., saline, oxymetazoline)

Drinking plenty of fluids

Using a humidifier
