Hello,
YOu should not blow your nose as this may cause problem like spread of infection or even bleeding.
you can use steroid nasal sprays they are harmless and in addition use normal saline nasal sprays . It will help in putting medicine directly to the place where there is entry of the allergen.
In addition if the symptoms does not decrease then you might require antibiotics and steroid tablets.
