HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this is could be allergic condition and instead of treating this condition with the pharmaceutical agents better to manage this with the general care and non pharmaceutical agents, like drink more water, steam inhalation, hot drinks, try pure honey at bedtime, avoid blowing the nose or sneezing forcefully, take care and have a nice day.
