Hi,I have gone through your query.

Mostly,Levocetrizine can be taken for around 2 weeks ,safely.

If still symptoms remain,then
it is generally safe to use Nasal Steroid spray like Fluticasone/Mometasone for 4 weeks , without any systemic side effects.They have been found effective in allergic rhinitis.

If you have sticky nasal drip,means it contains mucus.Mucolytic helps in break down of mucus.

I would be helpful to answer you if you have any further query.
