Suffering Form Common Cold
Hello Doctor, My Son is 8 years old and he has cold all thru the year, Whatever medications he takes only there is a temp. relief. He has running nose always. Only this happens in our home. When he goes to school he is fine. Evening or late in the night there is nose blockage, in the morning he sneezes 4 or 5 times and tends to become normal by 8 Am.
We have tried changing the soap, cleaning the house, bed regularly. Not sure what he is allergic to. From the birth he has a sensitive skin, initially we used Olivatiam soap, for the past 3 years we are using Cinthol lime.
Please advice what needs to be done.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that it may be a case of allergic rhinitis.
Allergy may occur due to several factors like mosquito coils, some foods like egg or prawn and pet animals or birds inn the house or nearby.
Woollen or nylon clothing etc.,
You better try to find out the triggering factor and avoid it.
You may use anticold medicines for temporary relief
Finally tou may consult one allergy specialist for skin testing with different allergens.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
