Allergic rhinitis
I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis since past many years. Whenever climate changes or if I smell something really strong or sit in ac for a long time I immediately start snizzing continuously and the my nose keeps licking with clear fluid even when I look don't the liquid just drips out . I cannot concentrate on my work and also  my skin on my face feels dried and dull completely. I also use to suffer from horrible hives previous but since past one year it is under control. I try to keep my nostrils dry because as soon as it gets moist I catch cold. Please suggest me some nasel spray which won't irretate my nose and at the same time will keep my nostrils dry. I get scared to take steam because my nose will drip even more. Currently I take cipla citrizin tablet at night when ever I suffer from it. Sometimes it works sometimes it just gives temporary effects. Please help.

Sir you need to start taking medicines for allergic rhinitis. The thing with allergy is that there is no permanent cure for it but it can be controlled with proper medication. Usually we prescribe an anti allergic tablet along with a nasal spray. But before that i suggest u get blood test done for allergy, Serum IgE and AEC, allergic skin prick test. Please consult an ent with the reports of above tests. All the best

Hi. Allergic rhinitis is usually controlable with mild steroid nasal sprays. These act only locally and have very limited systemic absorption, making them very safe, even for long term use. Anti-allergy tablets (like cetrizine that you have used) also supplement the treatment. It is best that you visit a qualified ENT specialist near you for prescription of appropriate nasal spray.
