Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having allergic rhinitis.
It can be triggered by change of weather, dust or any other allergen.

You should include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet as they strengthen the immune system. Also drink lots of water daily.
You can take antihistamine like Levocetirizine 5 mg daily along with Montelukast 10 mg for few weeks under medical supervision. Vitamin B and C supplements will have added benefits.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
