You need to go see your doc to find out what is wrong. This is not normal and is not something you should live with. See your doc, If he can’t find a problem he will refer you to an ENT doc and an allergist. This is not something you have to live with and not something you can treat yourself since you don;t know what is causing it. See your doc for a diagnosis and treatment plan.
