I have to wonder whether you are suffering from allergies, seasonal or otherwise. I would talk to your doctor about it or simply try an OTC allergy med. I take Allegra myself. I can tolerate Claritin, but Zyrtec puts me sleep. I think each person reacts differently to each med though, so you generally have to experiment. I take Allegra each day whether I'm symptomatic or not. IME, if you wait until you're symptomatic, you've made it that much harder for the drug to work effectively. My chronic sinus issues did not go away unti I took this approach, but I haven't had a sinus infection since I did (knock on wood). A Neti pots helps but for me, it's no substitute for the meds.
