Nose has been congested/running for nearly 10 years.

Hi. I'm 18M I moved from Nigeria to Canada in summer of 2016. I've had a constant problem with my nose where it will run or get blocked every 15-30 minutes. It has been especially annoying when I try to attend social events or hang out with friends. It also seems to get SIGNIFICANTLY worse during intense cardio. When I play soccer or go for a run my nose runs or blocks every couple minutes.

The two main changes I have made in my life is that I moved from a coastal to an inland city with significantly dryer climate and started eating tangerines(Had them for the first time when I moved and became kind of addicted to them and eat 2-3 a day).

The two main problems with these hypothesis' is that I have traveled to other cities for multiple weeks at a time and never noticed a significant change in my condition and I ate oranges just fine before coming to Canada.

I have been to two doctors and they just gave me a saline nasal spray and sent me on my way.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me cure this. I would love to finally be rid of this.
