Brief Answer:
Anti-allergic medicines

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Anti-allergic medicines like cetirizine etc are mainstay to control the sneezing. Cetrizine can be taken 1 - 2 times a day and is relatively less sedative than other anti-allergic preparations. Montelukast is a mast cell stabiliser and can be added.

Jalanethi as explained in yoga can be practiced at home for sneezing. Ayurvedic rasayana medicines like vyaghraydi lehya may be tried.

I would also recommend that you drink clean water and take hygienic food to avoid unnecessary infections.
