Constant sneezing

DH has alway been a sneezy person - no obvious cause. In past he's had about six 4-6 bouts a day causing forceful sneezing and then nose blowing. I did wonder if he was allergic to our last two cats, but after they passed away he continued like this and was no worse when we got two others a few months later.

Just recently it's got to the stage were it's constant, three bouts an hour and totally debilitating - awful going out as people are looking and thinking it's something else. We've been away recently (London) but was just as bad there especially on the coach (again he wasn't popular).

He's been to see the doctor, prescribed a month of steroids (which apparently he shouldn't have more than a week of). They cut it back by 80%, but he's now off them and suffering. It's back to GP on Friday. GP has told him allergy testing isn't that efficient, so no point. He finds an FFP mask helps but once taken off for eating, sleeping, hes sneezing.

Any ideas what's causing it? Had it in our last house and present one. Any advice to help?

I’ve always been a sneezer but at the beginning of December, I became terrible. Like the height of hayfever season. I have no idea why! It’s got a bit better in the last week. Not very helpful but I do wonder if there is something seasonal causing it this year.

Thanks for your reply. I guess it could be something that's more prominent in the air right now. Certainly no changes or increased ones in the home.

Hopefully GP will help - it's ridiculous - he's presently in cinema with mask on but even that doesn't stop the occasional sneezing bout - he felt he should explain to person next to him he's well otherwise.

Hope you feel better soon.
