General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think you are suffering from allergic rhinitis/ Vasomotor rhinitis.
In which there is inflammation of nasal mucosa due to overactivity of immune system due to allergen.

Followings are the allergens that cause allergic rhinitis:
Pollens, grass, pine, chemical, plum, weeds.

For confirm diagnosis, consult to ENT surgeon
Perform test like:
Eosinophil count
Patch test
Radioallergosorbent test

Advice:
If you know the allergen: avoid it
Or use mask or respirator before exposure
Drugs: both topical and oral therapy should be used
Tablet cetrizine and pseudoephidrine
Nasal spray : azelastine or otrivine nasal spray
Betanethsone nasal spray if severe
Immuno sensitize therapy may be useful in some case.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
