What Do Sneezing, Runny Nose And Watery Eye After Endoscopy Indicate?

Short story. Had endoscopy yesterday, they used Propofol and I had a nasal O2 tube. The O2 burned a bit and when I returned home I started sneezing, with runny nose and watery eye, all on my right side. Benedryl did not help, just took a Zyrtec. It's been 30 hrs and if anything it's worst. Called the doctor's office, and they said it will pass. This is getting pretty old right now. Was it the O2 or the Propofol?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, because of nasal tube this might be causing some local irritation and this would be the main cause of sneezing, you can use local anesthetic agent for to reduce the sneezing, hope this information helps, take care and have a good day.
