Need more info: If you have had these symptoms for more than a few weeks, you may have allergy to something in the air in your environment. You may try over the counter anti-histaminic. Make sure that you are not drowsy and do not drive or engage in other activity till you have tried the medication for a couple of days. If that does not help, see an ENT doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
