Rhinitis not infectn: Most common cause of your symptoms are related to allergic rhinitis or chronic rhinitis. This is inflammation of your nasal passages that may be associated with certain allergens such as pollen or dust etc. Treatment is not antibiotic but antihistamines, decongestants and nasal steroids. Discuss with your doctor. Nasal saline can also help.

Clear drippy nose: When the drippy discharge from your nose is present more than a week or two it is most likely due to allergies. Antibiotics are of no use for allergies. They treat bacterial infections, which generally cause secretions to turn yellow or green after a few days. Medications that help allergies include antihistamines, decongestants, nasalcrom, steroid nasal sprays and antihistamine sprays.
