Brief Answer:
Allergic Rhinitis.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.

Your wife is suffering from Chronic Allergic Rhinitis as per your description.

I would recommend in such case to use mask while she travels.

Since this is an allergic response of body, so to be honest can't be treated permanently that is can't be cured.

So , precautions along with regular steam inhalation helps.

In acute states or seasonal chances I prefer to prescribe my patients Fluticasone nasal spray that can be taken for 3 weeks initially.

Writer back to me after 3 Weeks of the treatment.

I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
