A member asked:

I am on ideal protein diet. now wherever i am slightly cold i start sneezing uncontrollably and my nose runs nonstop. why is wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sneezing: Your ideal protein diet is not related to your sneezing.which is not a response to cold temperature but to irritation by pathogen (bacteria, virus) or allergen. The runny nose may be due to vasomotor rhinitis, as a response to cold temperature and the best way to manage it is to prevent it by minimizing cold weather exposure.
