Are Symptoms Of Phlegm, Soreness And Fatigue Due To Allergy?
I get some type of allergy sickness at least once a year. Last year March it lasted a miserable whole month. Right now I'm experiencing it again, the head/hair are sensitive to touch, and I have to hack hard and too often to remove mucus from lungs. I use Mucinix and Chlor tabs to help, and ibuprofen. I try to rest, stay in bed, because of soreness and fatigue.
Is it really allergeries, or do I have something worse?

Hello, Welcome to HCM, As you are having these symptoms in a particular seasonal, you may be having seasonal allergy. But the present symptoms are suggesting of coexisting infection in the body. Because of which you are having soreness,fatigue and excess of mucus. As you are taking medicines it will control your symptoms, to know whether you are having any allergy you have to consult your doctor. I may suggest you to get your Absolute Eosinophillic Count (AEC) to know existing allergic manifestations. Thank You.
