Brief Answer:
You are having acute rhinitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are having acute rhinitis.
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you steam inhalation twice daily , fexofenadine 180 mg & Antibiotic azithromycin. Antibiotics are prescription medicines. You will need to see your doctor to get a prescription.

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
