Brief Answer:
Allergic rhinitis.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Allergic rhinitis. This is a type of Allergic reaction only. High Eosinophils also support the diagnosis.
To be very honest this is a disease which can't be completely cured for life time. However we can keep it under well control.
I would recommend in such case to take an anti Allergic like Levocetrizine daily in night time. Nasal sprays containing Fluticasone can be used for a month or two which would give you immense relief.
You should make a habit of doing steam inhalation on daily basis.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
