Brief Answer:
You are suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract ill
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
You are suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract illness in which there is involvement of nose, throat, ears and possibly sinuses. The cause appears to be allergic in nature which at times may be getting infected.
The treatment of this condition is exactly what you are taking and it`s generally recurring problem.
I suggest that you take montair lc and a nasal spray like fluticasone or metaspray for a longer duration even when you don`t have symptoms. You may take it for a period of 3 months and then gradually taper it off.
You should also try and and avoid dust, smoke and sudden extreme temp variations.
Do some deep breathing exercises. I`m sure these measures will help you considerably.

I am taking fluticasone nasal spary, since last month, won't I develop a habit of this? And won't it be harmful taking it for long? Do you suggest to undergo with some vaccination ?
Brief Answer:
No,fluticasone is not habit forming.
Detailed Answer:
No,fluticasone is not habit forming.
It hardly has any side effects since it acts locally. You may use saline nasal spray after using fluticasone after an interval of 15 to 20 minutes to wash of any residue.
Since it`s an allergic condition, vaccination may not be of much help. However, you may try influenza vaccine
