I have suffered with allergic rhinitis since 1977. I was told that if I lived in Oz it wouldn't happen
Over the years I have used a Beconase nasal spray. However, we have found that if DH is thorough with the hoover-thingy particularly in the bedroom my symptoms of sneezing, itchy roof of mouth, irritation to the nasal passages goes away. I note that the crease in my chin below my lower lip itches like fury when symptoms are re-starting
I haven't had sinusitis for years thankfully 'cos it felt like having a hang-over for no reason
. When I bend forwards to put socks on it was SO PAINFUL …… I haven't noticed that symptoms have been any worse in recent years. It could be possible to over-use nasal sprays and I think that one should only inhale steam/Vic if one has a cold. The nasal passages are lubricated for a reason and I do find that when I have symptoms, I don't get colds etc.
