<bot>: Hello Seen, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:1. Early morning sneezing and nose symptoms are usually due to allergy to one of these - house dust mites, molds, cockroach allergens, animal proteins (if you have a pet in home) etc.2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you to get allergy testing for house dust mites, common indoor molds in your region, cockroach allergen, animal proteins (if you have a pet) and common pollen in your region. This will help you to identify the substances you are allergic to and also to know the measures to avoid exposure to them.3. Some substances like house dust mite can not be avoided completely. For these types of allergies, I would suggest you specific allergen immunotherapy which improves ones immunity like vaccines to reduce allergy symptoms. I would suggest you to consult an experienced Allergist-Immunologist in your region for treating these types of allergies.4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes & air pollution as much as possible. 5. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you regular montelukast and levocetirizine/cetirizine for your current symptoms.6. A healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) and regular breathing exercises also will help you in a longer run. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health and a bright future ahead. Thank you & Regards.
