Brief Answer:
Start intranasal spray containing steroid.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having allergic rhinitis.
And treatment of allergic rhinitis is as follows.
1. Avoid dust, pollens, smoke, pollution etc.
2. Do steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
4. Start intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone).
5. Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs is also beneficial in your case.
All these drugs are safe for your baby also.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Please let me know if you have tried these drugs or not.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
