<s>[INST] Hi, I have been suffering from cold for more than a year from now. First I caught cold in USA when I went to a botanical park in Jan last year. My cold starts with sneezes and then runny nose. Its really disturbing me alot when I am at work. I took some antibiotics but still no use. Please help me in this respect. I am 27 years old. This is the first time I faced this problem from 27 years. [/INST] Hello,Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.You have allergic rhinitis and not just a cold.Antibiotics are of no use as you have discovered.You require a non sedating second generation antihistamine and a  nasal steroid spray to control your symptoms.If you have further queries, you are welcome.Take careDr. Noble Zachariah </s>
