Your question seems conflicting because Allergic Rhinitis is different from Non-Allergic Rhinitis. If it's Allergic Rhinitis you're having then it last for a lifetime and could even progress to Asthma. As long as you are exposed to the allergens your symptoms will appear. You have to consult for an Otorhinolaryngologist and/or an Allergologist to look more on your case. The medicines your taking are just for the symptomatic relief of your condition. If it is really allergic rhinitis, the best way to treat it is for you to identify the causative factors and avoid it. Remember that it can be treated but can't be cured.

It sounds like you are allergic to several kinds of pollen or dust mites. If you don't get better after a hard frost, it probably is not pollen. You really need to go to an allergist and be tested. Allergy desensitation shots really work, but it takes a commitment of several years. I had shots for nine years and now I have almost no hayfever. I used to be housebound this time of year and I've had no problems at all this year. I discontinued the shots over five years ago and I still have the benefits.
