Dear user,
Unfortunately, there is no permanent way to get rid of this kind of allergic nose problem. Sometimes, children improve with age, and sometimes, with anti-allergic medications like the Montair that has been prescribed for her. Older children can use nasally-inhaled steroids which are more effective.
You should avoid exposing her to dust. Install devices in your home that keep the dust out (air-conditioner with laminar flow), keep the humidity down (especially if you leave in a coastal town like Vizag or Mumbai) with dehumidifiers. Also, do not take her to gardens and other places where there is grass or pollen. Use a vacuum cleaner or wet-mopping to reduce the dust in the house. Avoid soft carpets, feather pillows, cheap cotton blankets and other stuff that can raise allergic stuff into the air. Remove all pests with environment friendly pest control services.
That's about it for now.
