Hello,
I am sorry for the allergic rhinitis your sister is experiencing. Allergy respiratory function tests and a further consultation with allergologist are highly recommended to manage her situation. Nose bleeding is due to nasal decongestant she might use on regular basis. She might need immuno-therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
First of all, as the name of disease suggest you have to identify the stimulus of allergy. If you can identify that you only have to avoid that allergen. But it's very difficult to find it out because there is more than one allergen which is causing this condition. Allergen testing is also done in laboratories at megacities so you can also go there and test this. Sometimes taking steroid is necessary to treat this condition. But prescribing steroids or not will depend upon treating doctor. It will depend upon risk-benefit ratio.
