Interesting: IgE testing is not perfect and the results do not effectively rule out allergic rhinitis. More history would be needed to agree with the diagnosis. Also, the meds listed are used effectively in some forms of non-allergic rhinitis, but not together in this combination for any particular subtype. Consider seeing a rhinitis specialist (allergist or ENT) comfortable in identifying rhinitis subtypes.
