Hi, Choulannouda,
Thanks for query.
You are having allergic rhinitis.
This may be due to dust,weather changes,pollen bodies in the air and as you said might be due to fur of a cat and dog.
Try to identify the allergen and avoid it.
Take antihistamine like cetrizine,decongestant medicines.
Ok and bye.
