Hello,
Your history suggest of allergic manifestations.Your symptoms can be relived by
1. Corticosteroid nasal sprays and drops
2. Nasal decongestants
3. Eye drops
4. Immunotherapy: It is a important mode of treatment. In this allergen responsible for your symptoms can be identified by Prick test. after identifying the allergen it will be easy for treatment. But this requires some time and should be done in different sittings.
By advise for you is you undergo skin prick test and identify the allergen and then you can receive either Sub lingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) or Sub Cutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT).
Thank you
