For the past year, I have been experiencing nasal congestion and mucus problems. I always wake up with a stuffy nose. My throat is extremely sore, almost a burning sensation and I have to clear it every 5 minutes. This mucus also causes bad breath.

When it first started, I went to a walk-in clinic. They told me I had a sinus infection, prescribed me some Nasonex and sent me on my way. While the Nasonex alleviated the symptoms a little, the relief was on temporary. All the symptoms came back within 6 weeks. I went back to the clinic and they gave me more Nasonex, some Rhynaris and referred me to a ENT. The ENT doctor told me it might be allergies so he sent me to get an allergy test and told me to come back. I got the allergy tests (they tested me for 27 things but not food allergies) and it turns out I am not allergic to anything. The allergist said I had chronic rhinitis and prescribed me with another type of nasal spray and some Claritin Extra.
I now have to go back to the ENT.

I have seasonal allergies and with the pollen count being so high, my ears are totally plugged and it’s getting painful. I’ve tried Sudafed and Ibuprofen and neither are giving much relief. Any other suggestions???

If you are diagnosed with allergy asthma, you tend to suffer with other allergy associated medical conditions such as eczema and hay fever.
