I've had a continuous runny nose for 3-4 years. Is it due to allergies? What treatments can help?
Yes, a runny nose lasting 3 to 4 years is most commonly due to allergic rhinitis, though chronic sinus problems can also cause it. Treatment usually includes anti-allergy tablets, steroid nasal sprays, saline rinses, and avoiding triggers like dust, smoke, and cold air. Since it is long-standing, you should see an ENT or allergy specialist for proper evaluation and long-term treatment.
