Why does cold air make me sneeze?
Why does cold air make me sneeze?
Simply being cold and shivering, or even moving from one temperature zone to another, can jar the nerve. Eventually the impulses converge on the sneezing center in the brain’s lateral medulla, and when they reach a threshold, the nerves that control inhalation and explosive exhalation are recruited.
What can cause sneezing all the time?
Sneezing can be due to:
- Allergy to pollen (hay fever), mold, dander, dust.
- Breathing in corticosteroids (from certain nose sprays)
- Common cold or the flu.
- Drug withdrawal.
- Triggers such as dust, air pollution, dry air, spicy foods, strong emotions, certain medicines, and powders.
Why do I sneeze 30 times in a row?

Why is my nose sensitive to cold air?
Your symptoms suggest a condition called cold air-induced rhinitis, or non-infectious, non-allergic rhinitis (Ninar). In people who suffer from this problem, the lining of the nose produces an excess of certain chemical substances when it is exposed to cold, dry air.
Why do we get runny noses when we have a cold?
Why does my nose run when I have a cold? When a cold virus enters your body, the body produces a substance called histamine, a compound that results in protective inflammation that also causes more mucus production in your nose.
