Could Sneezing And Running Nose Be Due To Combination Of Medicines?
My husband is 88 and has been on this for quite some time. Takes it before breakfast and dinner. After heats he sneezed and coughs and his nose runs. Especially after the evening meal. Should he change his medication or not even take it? My son is the one who brought it to our attention. Husband has an appointment with our family doctor tomorrow. Thank you.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The name of the medication is not mentioned in the question so it is not possible to know if the symptoms are possible side effects of medication.
Allergic reactions can occur to any medication so this is a possibility.
It is also possible that his symptoms are due to sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) or/and rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages) from another causes eg dust, pollen, scents, animal dander, food/drink
Antihistamines and topical steroid nasal sprays would help.
I hope this helps
