Sneezing is a sudden, forceful, involuntary burst of air through the nose and/or mouth.
Phenomenon
Sneezing is caused by irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose or throat, can be very bothersome but is generally not a sign of a serious problem.
Common Causes
Allergy to pollen, mold, dander, dust (allergy or hay fever)
Virus infections (common cold, upper respiratory tract infections)
Opiate withdrawal
Corticosteroid inhalation
Treatment
The most effective means of controlling sneezing caused by allergic diseases is avoiding exposure to the offending allergen (Removal of Causa Occasionalis).
Some suggestions to minimize exposure include:
Removing pets from the home to avoid animal dander
Changing furnace filters
Using air filtration devices to minimize the concentration of airborne pollens
Traveling to areas with low pollen counts during the critical periods
Even changing residence to eliminate a mold spore problem may be necessary.
For sneezing not caused by an allergy, the problem will disappear when the underlying disorder is cured.
