Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Your symptoms are characteristic of allergic rhinitis.
And treatment of choice for allergic rhinitis is nasal spray containing corticosteroid and oral tablet containing antihistamine and anti allergic.
And you are taking correct treatment for this. Thats why you are improving.
So you need to continue this treatment for atleast 1 year and then tapering can be done.
No need to worry for long term side effects. These drugs are safe for long term use.
