A member asked:
How "germy" are sneezes if not sick? have awful allergies and sneeze all day everyday. no medications seem to help either. can others get sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to catch: Sneezes, itchy throat and watery itchy eyes is allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and not contagious to anyone unless you demonstrate a fever. You can try Claritin 10 mg or Zyrtec over the counter for these symptoms daily for allergy relief. If further questions, make a virtual appt with an allergist thru healthtap.
