Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern.

These symptoms are likely due to allergies. Allergies can be triggered by various factors, such as changes in weather or exposure to dust, which can result in continuous sneezing, cough, and a stuffy nose. To manage and prevent these symptoms, I would suggest you consider the following measures:

Dress appropriately for cold weather and ensure you keep warm.
Drink lukewarm water to soothe your throat and nasal passages.
When going outdoors, cover your head to protect yourself from potential allergens.
Use a mask when cleaning your house to minimize exposure to dust and allergens.
For immediate relief when symptoms appear, you can take one 10 mg tablet of Levocetirizine before bedtime. Use this as needed whenever you experience symptoms.

Consult your doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications as per their advice. It is essential to determine if you have any specific allergies, such as dust allergies, to take further preventive measures. Please let me know if you have any known allergies or if these symptoms are related to a specific trigger.

Thank you for seeking our assistance, and I hope this information helps.
