I think I posted upthread how saline nasal spray had really been helping my congestion, phlegm , stinging throat and watery nose recently. Well…….I kept the appointment with the allergist because it took me a long time to get in. (I saw this same doctor in 2023 for s penicillin challenge. Turns out after believing I was allergic to penicillin, since childhood, I’m not. Glad I made that discovery. ) Well, today she examined me, took history and ordered the allergy test they do on your back. Man, was I shocked! I had no allergies! The years I have suffered from seasonal allergies! Dust! Mold! Anyway, I’m no longer allergic. I am very happy, but I st have those terrible symptoms. Doctor said it sounds like an irritant is trying to get into my nasal passages and my body is fighting to get it out.
