A member asked:

I'm 43 years old no known allergies i've had a sore throat for three weeks i wake up congested with green flegm every morning my ears are itchy as wel?

You may have: unknown allergies. Your symptoms seem consistent with environmental allergies resulting in allergic rhinitis or sinusitis. Try taking an OTC non-sedating antihistamine like loratadine. An allergist can help you discover if you are allergic to pollens, etc.
