Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having chronic rhinitis, probably secondary to allergy.
Allergic conditions tend to run for a long time and they require treatment for a long time.
The treatment is done by the use of anti-allergic drugs. Steroids are reserved for acute exacerberation only.
Do consult your doctor for examination to assess the severity of your condition and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you for writing to us.
