Brief Answer:
Intranasal steroid spray is the treatment of choice for runny nose.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis is more.
Best treatment of allergic rhinitis is intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone).
So along with Allegra, you should also start intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright with fluticasone nasal spray.
Also do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Avoid dust, pollens, chemicals etc.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
