What Causes Continuous Sneezing?

hello there, My nephew's sneezes are not stopping from last 55 days. The frequency of sneezes is approx. 1 per minute. Actually the problem started in January 2011 but it stopped after a month and it occured again after one month to last for another one month. We have gone to a number of Doctors and they prescribed some nasal sprays and medicines, but it seems nothing worked. Most of them say that it might be physchological but we feel that theres some problem as sneezing stops when he goes to sleep and comes back as soon as he wakes or we move him in sleep. Kindly suggest me whom should we take him to in AIIMS. I mean which Doctor or Department.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You should take him to see an allergist to determine if he is reacting to a particular allergen.
The allergist would be able to do allergy testing to pin point the source of the problem. If it is identified then hopefully his exposure can be reduced or eliminated.

I hope this helps
