Hello,
Chronic nasal drip may be due to allergic rhinitis. In this case, nasal steroids such as fluticasone nasal spray can be used 1 spray 1-2 times a day in each nostril.
You may also do nasal lavage with a normal saline solution daily to help clear the secretions and open the nasal passages. After the nasal lavage, you can apply the fluticasone nasal spray.
As for the gluten allergy, there is a blood test that can be done and rule it in/out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
