nasal allergy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, you might be having nasal allergy.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed antihistamines with steroid nasal spray. This will give quick releif.
If symptoms persists, please consult with your doctor, he may suggest oral steroids .
These are prescription medicines, hence empirically antihistamines are the over the counter drugs which can be taken.
Avoid oily and cold items.
Avoid exposure to dust and air conditioning, if possible.
