Why Do I Have Itching In The Inner Side Of Face After Sneezing?
When i sneeze lately...the inside of my face itches. Inside my ears, my nose/sinuses, my throat, the back of my tongue, the inside of my cheeks. What could that be? I m hesitant to think allergies because if i m allergic to something in my body wouldnt i have had a reaction on the way down?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that the mechanism of sneezing actually the sneezing is physiological phenomenon (reactive ) in other word this could be said to positive feedback, the main aim of sneeze is to expel out the allergens from the respiratory tract during the spell of sneeze the air comes out from the nose and mouth with high velocity and that causes the respiratory tract and surrounding tissue irritation, and so w feel itching, take care and have nice day.
