Hello dear. Welcome to Healthcaremagic. I read your query and I understand your concern. I think he is having allergic rhinitis. I can suggest des loratadine 2.5 mg once daily. Also can use fluticasone for 3 days. Take care. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you. Best regards, Dr Olgeta Xhufka ( general and family physician ).
