Hi,
you are safe. No need to worry much.
Rhinitis means inflammation in nose. This may be due to bacterial infection or due to allergy. Since your symptoms started late winter the cause may be due to allergy.
For my patients with severe allergic rhinitis I prefer intranasal nasonex( mometasone) spray . This will take care of both allergy and inflammation. For running nose along with the spray taking oral antihistamine like cetrizine will help. So I advise the same for you along with respiratory exercises.
Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries.
Regards
