I sneeze too much

Sneezing is your body’s way of removing irritants from your nose or throat. A sneeze is a powerful, involuntary expulsion of air. Sneezing often happens suddenly and without warning. Sneezing can be triggered by a variety of things, including: allergic reaction, viruses, such as the common cold or flu, nasal irritants, inhalation of corticosteroids through a nasal spray and drug withdrawal. Although, a normal body reaction, excessive sneezing can be annoying and an indication of an underlying illness which should be thoroughly investigated.
