Hello.
I went through your history.
Most probably it looks you are having allergic rhinitis.
You will be benefited from taking an antihistamine tablet (cetirizine or levocetirizine or fexofenadine - any one of them) and montelukast tablet. Combination of these drugs are also available so you can take a single tablet per day.
This will control your symptoms very well.
Also spraying normal saline drops into both nostrils 4-5 times daily will reduce your symptoms faster.
Please try to stay away from dust, smoke, air-pollution, etc. Or try cover your nose when you are exposed to them to prevent them entering nose.
Wish you a faster recovery & the best of the health.
Regards.
