How Can Swelling In The Nasal Passage Be Treated?

So I have been to my doctor about 8 times now. because I can not breath through my nose the passages are swollen. I have been to the allergy doctor and they have found nothing that I am allergic to. I have had sinus x-rays that are clear and a CAT scan that is clear. I have had predisone that they have found out that I can not take. all kinds of nasal sprays and pills. I have been to the ent doctor and was told that I have acid reflux and I am taking meds twice a day. The doctors keep telling me that I have rhinitis but it is not getting better.
