Brief Answer:
Can be ALLERGIC RHINITIS
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Sir, your daughter is mostly suffering with Allergic Rhinitis.
Drug of choice is nasal spray mixed with antihistamine and mild steroids like ( budisonide nasal spray or flohale nasal spray) should be given twice to four hourly.
Along with this montileukast and levocetrizine once a day for long time will help a lot. Discuss all about this with your doctor.
Hope the query is answered.
Please feel free for further clarification.
Thanks
