I am 15 and I have allergies. My allergies
were a lot worse when I was younger. I had
taken allergy shots before but stopped
after almost 3 years. During the summer my
allergies seem to subside but once the
winter comes, it bothers me the most. My
nose becomes congested and produces
excessive thick mucous that I have to
constantly keep blowing. It becomes
difficult to function normally in school
because of this.
I know you might say to avoid the cold but
I am only exposed to it for a few minutes
when I am walking to the bus stop and into
the school, and after school. My mom makes
me wear a scarf every morning but despite
that it is still worse in school. When I
come home, for some reason it isn't AS bad
as it is in school. I don't have to blow
as much.
Why does this happen and what can I do
about it?
Does being treated for regular allergies,
using shots or w/e (for pollen and dust or
w/e i am allergic to) help this at all?
There obviosuly isn't any thing in the air
that makes me allergic, its just the cold.
Can any professional here please help?

Id' recommend a saline solution to clean
your sinuses regularly. This can help
immensely. Are you willing to flush your
sinuses out twice a day with salt water?
I can describe to you how.

i already do that every day.
Although sometimes I tend to think it
makes it worse because after I flush my
nose, my nose gets extremely blocked and I
feel a hell of a lot worse than I do if I
don't flush it. I'd had it twice happen
that after I had flushed my nose with the
irrigation I had gotten sick the next
day.
I will only flush it if I am exposed to my
allergens like grass.

forgot to mention, the lining of my nose
is swollen or w/e (nose blockage) and it
hasn't gone away for a few days. It always
happens as soon as I flush my nose.
