Chronic Runny Nose, Nervousness. Allergy Tests Administered. Allergic To Rye. Used Nasal Sprays, Claritin, Neti Pot. Suggestions?

I am 50 and have always had a persistent runny nose -chronic. I do not appear to have allergies to outside sources i.e.. pollen, grass, etc. I have been tested both here and in Germany where they poked the skin with the obvious allergens. Rye was the only one they came up with. They said I had unspecific allergies. I have tried lots of nasal sprays, claritin, etc with none working well. I use the neti pot but this doesn't stop it. I find it Impacts my ability to think, talk, and eat. It makes me nervous and I can't hit the soprano notes consistently like I would like in choir. Do you have any new suggestions?

you have to avoid food which was alergic to you
completely withdraw that food
for pollens you can go for desensitisation therapy for environmental allergens
but if that theapy is not avalable then you can choose to take fexofenadine 120 mg od or bd
apply neosporin h eye ointment in nose bd
sea water drops 2 drops at night each nostril
yiu can continue without side effects these
i have treted many patients with desensitisation therapy
