Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about this repeated cycles. It can be very troubling to deal with this every now and then. This most likely represents an allergic reaction. I would suggest that you try and monitor what the changes around these period are like cold exposure, pollen, certain environments, etc so as to map the cause and keep away from. If you should manage and get this done, then you would be able to break this cycle. Also, trying anti histamines at the beginning of the symptoms may offer some relief and prevent progression. If these measures should fail, then please consult and ENT specialist for detailed assessment and treatment.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
