A member asked:

I have post nasal drip after eating eggs n drinking cows milk for years, then i get an infection n need antiblood tests didn't show allergies, how come?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inflammation: Dairy and eggs may cause inflammation in your mucous membranes then causing secretions that get built up into an infection. You do not need to have obvious allergies for this to occur.
