Son keeps keeps sneezing

My 7 year old son keeps waking in the middle of the night having sneezing fits. He has lots of gunk when he blows his nose but he doesn’t have a cold and otherwise seems perfectly fine. However it’s now making us all really tired. Could it be allergies? But only at night? Any suggestions of how I can help him would be hugely appreciated.

Allergy to bedding or house dust mites?
My son is allergic to HDM and we found cutting out dairy made a huge improvement. Dairy produces mucous , which on an already overloaded system produces more symptoms.

I did speak to our GP who just suggested some nasel spray which I’m going to get but I think there’s an underlying issue. Not sure if I should get in touch with an allergy specialist.

I was actually wondering about diary, will start to cut it out and will also disinfect the house! Thank you

Hi my partner was having the same issue. I eventually made him go to the doctor and she said he was allergic to something and prescribed a nasal spray .

Made such a difference! He no longer sneezes constantly. Also keep ontop of dusting and hoovering.
