I am constantly congested and always have phlegm in my throat. i rarely get sinus headaches. is this just allergies and i am stuck with it?

Allergy: Do check with an allergologist to find out what you are allergic to. This allergen is something that you are exposed to constantly; ex detergent in your clothes, beddings etc once the cause if known, you ocan get rid of it temporary relief with antihistaminic and decongestant can help you while the cause is being determined.

There is hope: This is a very common complaint. Allergies may be a factor. Smoking, some occupations also could play a role. The problem generally is a chronic irritation of the tissues behind the nasal cavities and/or sinuses. A good exam by your doctor to rule out other problems is recommended. Typical initial treatment include nasal steroids and good twice daily saline nasal irrigations.
