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?

Chronic cold and cough can be frustrating.

Considering your allergy-like symptoms, possible causes include:

• Allergies (dust, pollen, pet dander)
• Environmental factors (pollution, tobacco smoke)
• Sinusitis or respiratory infections

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

Consult a doctor or allergist to determine the underlying cause and receive personalized guidance.
