causal diagram: chronic rhinitis

All the pieces finally fall into place:
Dashed lines mean negative influence (-), i.e. more of the source tends to cause less of the target.
N.B.: I don't suffer from all causes or all symptoms above.
I could add a node for "vasoconstrictor" (e.g. Afrin) right next to "fluticasone", having a negative (e.g. health-positive) effect on "amount of blood in mucosa", but the problem is that vasoconstrictors have a short-term effect that rebound, becoming a positive (e.g. health-negative) effect.
Thanks WikiTex/Wikisophia, for providing me with a sandbox! Wiki code is behind the cut.
Fluticasone appears to be effective in the long run. But if I end up needing to use it for the rest of my life, then I'll go for a ~50% partial turbinectomy (under the knife, since laser seems to damage mucociliary function).
I am interested in the semantics of these diagrams, and how they relate to argument maps and formal proofs.
* What about expressing the distinction between independent and dependent influences (e.g. conjunction, synergy)?
* What about tagging nodes with information about which leaves are controllable?
* Some effects have preconditions: snoring requires sleeping. Sleeping requires lying down. So we have an implicit relationship in the graph: the consequence is that turbinate enlargement will be worse during sleep. Could conclusions of the kind be drawn automatically, by simply adding to the implicit information to the current representation?

semantics of diagrams
* Say we want to instantiate a particular allergen and a particular individual: what kind of graph rewriting will we need to do?* What about expressing the distinction between independent and dependent influences (e.g. conjunction, synergy)?
* What about tagging nodes with information about which leaves are controllable?
* Some effects have preconditions: snoring requires sleeping. Sleeping requires lying down.
