Question
I dont know much about my cold problem but I get it everyday and I have eye strain during these hours

My mom also has this problem could I have this through heriditary??

What could solve the problem of sneezing all the time?

Answer
Dear Sneha,
    If it is something you "get" everyday I am tempted to say that it is probably allergies. I would see about taking over-the-counter antiallergenic medication. If your symptoms continue, see a physician for a leukotriene inhibitor. You should see a physician if your symptoms get worse or you start running a fever greater than 100.1f or its centigrade equivalent. You should look for allergic triggers in your home such as cooking fumes, dust, pet dander, second hand smoke, etc. and eliminate these if they seem to be the problem. Good luck and thanks for writing.
Peace,
Richard
