Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis is more likely. Best treatment for allergic rhinitis is intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial. Along with these medications, you should also doctor steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
