Antibiotics have no role in allergic rhinitis. What you need is anti allergic.
Take Tab.Rupanex-M once a day
Flomist Nasal Spray twice a day

Augmentin is Amoxicillin with Clavulunic acid. Usually given as BID dosage i, e. Twice a day dose.
If the Diagnosis is Allergic rhinitis then I don't think Antibiotics is required. Treat the Allergy by avoiding allergens and with Antihistamines and Intranasal steroids.
