Brief Answer:
Chronic rhinitis

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

From the complaints, it seems to be a nasal pathology causing these symptoms. You should get an X-ray paranasal sinuses done and send me the pictures.

Any history of nasal blockage?
Any history of post nasal drip?

Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.

Thank you. Take care.
