Hello,
You seem to be having allergic rhinitis. You can take OTC anthistaminics like benadryl or zyrtec.You can also use some nasal decongestants but use them for a few days only.Corticosteroids nasal sprays can also be used. You can also use saline nasal sprays or steam inhalation at home.Another effective agent that is available by prescription is cromolyn sodium. In severe cases, Immunotherapy is advised.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.

You could try CounterAct Allergy med.  It's about $5.00 Cheaper than Claritin and will provide 24 hour relief without drowsiness.
