Viral Infection: A viral infection will not respond to antibiotics, so avoid those. You can try the over the counter pain/fever medications, salt water washes, steam and humidity inhalations. If you are sick all the time then consider getting an immune evaluation with your friendly allergy and immunology provider.

See allergist: Make sure that your rhinitis is due to a virus and not an allergy. See an allergist for his opinion.
