Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent nasal irritation and running nose which seems to be due to viral infection and poor immunity of body. Sometimes there is co infection of bacteria as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Take nasal saline rinses and maintain complete hygiene.
- Avoid intake of cold beverages and spicy food.

Consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test, and may prescribe antiviral like acyclovir or antibacterial along with nasal decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
