Hi,
It could be an allergic condition due to inhalation and it might not be anything danger. If this so, then it takes sometime to come around, even if you are not taking any medicine.
It is the self limiting condition, only sever symptoms needs anti-allergic medicine else the mild to moderate condition may not need any treatment.
Hope I answered your query,
