Hi
Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic
It seems you are suffering from
Allergic Rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is characterized by seasonal or perennial attacks of sneezing, running nose and nasal stuffiness.
Seasonal allergic rhinitis shows seasonal character i.e. present only in specific seasons. Perennial allergic rhinitis is usually present throughout the year.
Diagnosis can be clinical supported by family history, presence of eosinophils in nasal secretion and
eosinophilia with raised IgE levels in blood.
Diagnosis of precipitating allergens is often difficult but can be identified by history, skin testing and radioallergosorbant test (RAST).
Some other causes of recurrent or persistent
rhinorrhea are
Rhinitis medicamentosa caused by over-use of topical decongestants
Vasomotor rhinitis triggered by exercise, cold/heat exposure, strong odor etc.
Acute attacks of allergic rhinitis are treated with oral antihistaminics e.g cetrizine
Prevention of attacks needs topical steroids as nasal sprays.
Hope that answers your query
