You might be suffering from allergic rhinitis which requires long term treatment with anti Histamine medicines and steroid nasal sprays. Since your allergy seems to be seasonal shorter course also may suffice. Along with steroids which are already prescribed you may need to take anti Histamine like cetrizine
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
