Suggest Treatment For Running Nose And Nasal Congestion

My nose runs everyday for the past few years. Im 21 currently at college and my nose is fine for the most part when im lying down but when im cooking or walking around my nose always runs. Sometimes it will drip a clear fluid when im looking down and from the times its ended up in my mouth it has a salty taste. I ve taken allergy pills, taken several nasal sprays recommened by ent and have had allergy tests and nothing seems to work. Is there a solution for this problem? It getting to the point where its caused me to quit certain jobs and its hard going anywhere.
