Hi everybody,

My problem began in February, so about 7 to 8 months ago. I had a really irratating itchy cough for about 2 weeks (pretty much coughing constantly). After the cough went I was left with a snotty nose and constant pressure headaches. I assumed these symptoms would also go pretty quickly but they didn't.

I no longer have a snotty nose; it is always completely clear, but it feels like there is a load of mucus right at the top of my nose / back of my throat that i need to clear but never can. I feel like everytime i swallow it is harder than it should be and i feel like i'm swallowing mucus.

I've had to give up football because i swallow so much mucus i feel sick.

I've been to the doctors twice. I'm on my second bottle of nasonex nasal steroid spray (with no positive effect to date) and i've just finished a week of antibiotics (again with no effect).

I've also tried steaming my nose with olbas oil and hot water, but this hasn't stopped it either.

Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this or anything else i can try before going back to the doctors?

Thanks for any help.
