Sneezing issue?
Hey everyone!
so lately I've been sneezing a lot lately and at first I thought it was Hay Fever but the sneezing has got ridiculous. Finally, my mom realised that it's probably because my nose hair has fallen out so there is nothing to keep pieces of pollen from going into my nose. Has this happened to anyone else? What could I do?

Heather,
I use a q-tip with vaseline and dab my daughter's nostrils twice a day. It helps. Sometimes I use antibiotic ointment if she needs to stay outdoor for a long time.

yeah between the no nose hairs and no eyelashes, i am always sniffling. during allergy season i use this nose barrier cream - allergen block - that you can get at a drugstore, it works pretty well. that and i have to wear big sunglasses outdoors.
i also clean out my nose regularly using simply saline nasal mist.

This might sound like a really bizarre recomendation, but it's really been helpful for me. I am always sniffing too because of lack of nose hairs (actually I had never even thought of this, but there is no other explanation!!). I just use a neti pot every morning and it's basically cleared things up. A neti pot looks like a little genie lamp and you fill it with warm water and neti pot salt (available wherever neti pots are sold) and pour it through one side of your nose and it comes out the other, cleaning out the whole inside of your nose. You can look up a video on youtube. They are quite funny/ weird things, but it really works the best out of what I have tried!!
