She reports increased symptoms in the morning and during the day, particularly when she is near plants outside the library. She takes no medications regularly and has no known allergies.

Mostly Allergic Rhinitis exacerbated by the plants/pollen allergy. Symptoms timed around diurnal variation. Managed by cortico-steroid nasal sprays, fluticasone, mometasone, etc once at the start of the day. ---

The most likely diagnosis is allergic rhinitis. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, and clear rhinorrhea. Plant allergens likely trigger her symptoms. Absence of fever and cough supports an allergic cause. Symptoms worsen near plants, indicating an allergic trigger. Avoidance of triggers and medications can help manage symptoms. ---

The most likely diagnosis is **allergic rhinitis** , given the chronic sneezing, clear rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and symptom worsening with plant exposure. The absence of fever or cough and a clear trigger suggest an allergic rather than infectious cause. ---
