Frequent sneezing is often dismissed as a simple allergy or reaction to weather changes. However, repeated sneezing every day may indicate a weak immune system rather than just allergies. Ignoring this symptom could delay proper treatment.

What Research Shows:
Studies published by the National Institutes of Health and the National Center for Biotechnology Information reveal that people with weak or overactive immune cells sneeze more often, regardless of season or allergen exposure. This is because antibodies in the nose and throat are reduced, weakening the body’s ability to fight allergens and viruses.

Expert Insight:
Dr. Ajay Kumar, a senior physician, explains that when immunity is low, viruses and bacteria easily infect the nose and throat, causing frequent sneezing.

Other Common Causes of Frequent Sneezing:

• Allergic rhinitis (allergy to dust, pet hair, mold)

• Weather changes (cold or hot air sensitivity)

• Viral infections (like common cold)

• Poor nasal hygiene (accumulated dust or dirt)

When to See a Doctor:
If sneezing lasts more than 10-15 days or is accompanied by runny nose, burning eyes, headaches, fever, tiredness, or if triggered by specific allergens, medical consultation is advised.

Home Remedies to Control Frequent Sneezing:

• Steam inhalation with Vicks or celery

• Drinking turmeric milk for its anti-inflammatory benefits

• Consuming Amla juice or Giloy to boost immunity

• Staying in fresh air and avoiding dust and smoke

• Washing the nose with lukewarm salty water to clear allergens

• Drinking ginger juice mixed with honey to reduce allergies
