HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Sneezing can be due to the common cold or related to allergic rhinosinusitis (allergies of the nasal passages and sinuses).

It can also be associated with nasal congestion and post nasal drip.This can be relieved by continuing the use of the oral antihistamines and also a topical steroid nasal spray.

The itching sensation in the eyes is also indicative of allergies- allergic conjunctivitis.

The cold is a trigger for asthma attacks but the use of the asthma inhaler does not trigger the common cold.

I hope this helps
