Brief Answer:
may need a nasal spray, montelukast, decongestant combination
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your symptoms are due to rhinosinusitis (inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses).
This would cause the nasal congestion, runny nose, coughing.
You may need a topical steroid nasal spray such as nasonex, nasocort, flonase, rhinocort, avamys- One of these can be used to help you. It can take 1 to 3 weeks in some instances for an effect to be found.
In addition to the nasal spray, you may want to consider montelukast. This medication works to help reduce the body's allergic response by preventing the release of chemicals that cause inflammation.
The decongestant can be continued along with the above
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
never said was not genetic influence
Detailed Answer:
HI
You are correct in saying that genetics play a role, I agree with that, there is a role for genetics in inflammation.
There are families of persons who are more prone to react to different allergies.
This is the reason that asthma for example, runs in families or allergies to medications for example may run in families
Allergies to environmental sources can sometimes also be familial
Most illness have different sources- genetic, environmental ,social etc

Brief Answer:
different potential effects that may or may not occur
Detailed Answer:
HI
There are potential side effects to any medication but you may not experience any effects.
As a person who has to use these meds sometimes for control of similar symptoms, I do not experience any significant side effects but I will list the main potential side effects for you.
Montelukast-headache, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue/loss of energy
Topical steroid nasal sprays-unpleasant smell/taste when spray used, headache, nausea, nasal dryness, throat dryness, sore throat
Since there are different types of sprays, if you use one and cannot tolerate it , then you can be given another
If anything else unclear, can ask
