What Causes Difficulty Swallowing?

Hi, for the last month I have had trouble swallowing, i have been to an ent specialist who said everything was inflamed from my nose to osophogus. Sorry about the spelling. She said it is rhinitis and gave me steriod nose spray. I have been using it over a week and still feel brethless on and off and a dry throat on and off. What can I do. Should i take antihistamines as well
