Dr. Corey Clay answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Can't know: For more likely to have an allergic or non-allergic cause for persistent stuffy/runny nose, but recurrent infections are possible (may depend on exposures; perhaps a younger sibling in daycare?). See an Allergist to explore this and to get much needed relief.
