I keep sneezing and have a cold, with watery discharge coming mostly from my left nostril. How can I control it?

Frequent sneezing with watery discharge from one nostril is usually due to an allergy or irritation of the nasal lining. It can be triggered by dust, weather changes, strong smells, or animal allergens, and sometimes one side may feel more affected than the other. This causes continuous sneezing, a runny nose, and irritation or a blocked nose. For relief, medicines such as antihistamines (anti-allergic medication) or nasal sprays can help reduce symptoms, but they should be used only if advised by your doctor, especially if symptoms are frequent or long-lasting. Using random over-the-counter medicines may only provide temporary relief and not address the root cause. You can manage this better by avoiding triggers whenever possible. Keep your surroundings clean, avoid exposure to dust, and use a mask if needed. Steam inhalation and saline nasal rinses can help clear the nose and reduce irritation. Drinking warm fluids may also soothe symptoms. If the problem persists for many days, worsens, or is accompanied by headache or fever, consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
