Hello,

In my opinion, an allergic reaction may cause issues such as yours. The cause may be anything from flowers, dust, drugs, etc.

So, possible allergies should be evaluated with skin tests in order to get a correct diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
