Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic rhinitis is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis is more.
And for this you need to follow these steps for atleast 1-2 years.
1. Avoid dust, smoke, pollution, pollens, chemicals etc.
2. Do regular steam inhalation 5-6 times a day.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
4. Start combination of antihistamine (fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once daily at night.
5. Start fluticasone nasal spray twice daily in two nostrils.
With symptomatic relief, we can gradually taper down these drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
