There is a condition called “perennial rhinitis”, which is basically caused by house dust mite allergy, and can cause many of these symptoms. Many people who have that benefit from using inhaled corticosteroids, like fluticasone 50mcg per puff, which are available without prescription in the United States. The starting dose is usually 2 puffs each nostril once daily, and people who find it helps usually find it takes at least one or two weeks of regular use before their symptoms improve or resolve, and if they stop taking it, their symptoms return in a few weeks. So it’s a treatment, not a cure! If it’s not available over the counter wherever you live, maybe discuss it with your doctor?

> "fluticasone" It's a treatment, unless you're one of the people it causes frequent nosebleeds in. Ugh.

I have that, and there are some places I just cannot stay at. So when I know I'm going to be staying at a place where I get severe allergic reaction, I get some corticosteroid nasal spray, but the ones that are powerful.

  A friend of mine has severe allergies to many different airborne materials, to the point where he was having to get shots every few weeks to control them. What finally allowed him to get control over the allergies and not have to get shots anymore was one of these nasal sprays.

I have crazy bad dust mite allergy. Had it tested and my skin prick had a reaction going all the way up my arm. I woke up every morning feeling terrible. Since then I made the following changes that have completely changed everything. 1) Got a robot Vacuum with hepa filter that cleans under the bed 2) Got dust mite covers for my pillow etc 3) Got a Hepa filter that runs constantly for both my furnace and my room 4) Installed a dehumidifier that lowers the humidity in the entire house. Dust mites loooove humidity above 50 percent. Now I wake up feeling pretty decent everyday

  Hey can you please share some actual product links of these products so that I can see their availability in my country.

Thank you. I will definitely talk to my doctor. Thing is they are so overloaded that any attempt to get an appointment have been politely discouraged as it's not a serious condition (and as far as I can see it is not really; not yet at least). Also, since it's steroids (speaking as a layman) is it not like something that has lots of side effects? So a daily usage over prolonged periods of time may be undesirable? The last doctor had also found out (after a CT scan) DNS and when he tried to inset a tiny camera up my nostrils he was not able to do so in one of them (that's when he suggested CT scan). And my nose rarely runs. I mean it does little bit maybe couple of times a month when I catch common cold but on the daily basis it just doesn't. Also, what kind of specialist should I be approaching? The last doctor I saw was in Otorhinolaryngology. But that was more than a year ago - since then there's been nothing done related to it.
