I'm a teenage girl, and for as long as I can remember, I've always had to clear my throat alot more often then everyone else. I've been drinking alot of water, that seems to help my congestion a bit but not my throat. I think that I may have phlegm on my vocal chords, but I've never coughed anything up. I sometimes feel junk in the back of my nose, but no matter how hard I blow it, it won't come out, so I swallow it.

I have an appointment to the allergist in a couple weeks, and I'm not sure what to do in the meantime. Antihistimines are tempting, but I sing, and those things dry out the vocal chords. I don't even know if I have allergies or not, I just always have to clear my throat. Is it phlegm or is something inflammed? I don't know.
