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:

• 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.
