Why Do I Get Running Nose Once Every Month Or Two?
Question: hi, I am getting running nose problem around every 1 or 2 months, can someone guide me...
Brief Answer:
Maintain a dairy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Repeated running nose or coryza as its called can be frustrating. It affects your daily routine and work.
As the problem is chronic and recurring it is important to understand what triggers the symptoms. If there are associated complaints such as body ache, weakness, headache or fever along with runny nose, let me know in your follow up reply.
Assuming there are no associated complaints, repeated episodes of coryza is commonly triggered by allergies, exposure to cold weather or preexisting nasal conditions. I recommend keeping a dairy and noting down factors that occurred before onset of each episodes. Analyzing those factors / circumstance will help you isolate the triggering factors. If you know any such factors already, let me know in the follow up.
If there are no circumstantial evidence found you should treat symptoms with medications like antihistamine drugs and steroid nasal spray.
Hope this helps. You are free to discuss by asking follow up questions.
Regards
