C an ENT specialist: that can very well be rhino-sinusitis (inflammation of nasal cavity and sinuses) which may require prescription medications, after this bout is over you may still need to be evaluated for allergies, it may be something in your environment, good luck

Xylitol: Xylitol is a natural sugar and breaks up biofilm in the body. That's where germs multiply. It is found in a nasal spray called Xlear (pronounced "clear") and in chewing gum /toothpaste called Spry. Pleasant tasting too! Please continue to see your doctor.
