I suspect Rhinitis.

Can be caused alergens like house dust or even just dry air due to central heating. Take to a GP as you wil need a prescription to stop the allergic reaction and they are not generally available over the counter for anyone under 18.

It could also be an infection in the nasal passage and you will need Naseptin for that -again prescription only.

I used to do this when I was a child. I was then diagnosed with allergies aged around 11 and have recently been diagnosed with rhinitis.

I was nicknamed sniffler!
