General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,I had gone through you query and understand your concern.
If I were your treating physician,I would look for other symptoms of allergic rhinitis like nasal irritation,nasal blockage etc and rule out asthma(cough,wheeze or chest tightness,breathlessness etc)

If you had allergic rhinitis,I would then suggest:
> Try to avoid cold environment so far it is possible
> Wash nasal cavity with water or normal saline.
> Oral antihistamine
> Steroid nasal spay during cold season

By following above advice,the chance remaining symptoms free is very high.

Since this is a prescription medicine ,I would suggest you to contact with local doctor to confirm diagnosis.

Hope this answers your query.
Wish you good health.
