Food allergies: At 8 month old, he is not likely to be suffering from seasonal allergies yet...As allergies require prior exposure. Since he is 8 month-old, he has not gone through 2 of same season yet.."countless medicines" for 8 monh-old is concerning.. It is possible that he may be allergic/intolerant to certain foods and so working with his doc may help you figure out ways to manage that. Good luck.

Get evaluation: If over the counter meds aren't helping, your baby should be evaluated by an allergist who can determine what allergies the baby has and which combination of medications are needed to control the symptoms.

Don't assume allergy: If I blow pepper in your face, you sneeze & drain the same as those with allergy. I find babies have more congestion with scented cleaning products, perfume, smoke & other irritants than they do with animal dander or pollens. The tiny nasal passages that become very noisy with a little mucous or swelling gives many the wrong idea. These are not little copies of adult problems, their issues differ
