Hi, Thanks for the query.

Well you have a history of recurrent attacks of common cold. Not only deficient vitamin c , there are many other reasons for this.

The reasons may be exposure to dust, allergy, nutritional deficiency or some chronic problem. Sneezing is a common symptom of allergy.

We should get your blood examination done to find out the cause. In the mean time try to avoid cold intake and exposure.

Let me know if you need further clarification. I am ready for future follow up.
