Q: Cure for respiratory problems

You could say I have symptoms of a common cold..except it feels chronic..I cannot sit still for 10 minutes without blowing my nose. As soon as I wake up, I have to blow my nose using up about 3 handkerchiefs..(and this is every single time i sleep...including a short nap) I'm growing very tired of this, and really annoyed. I've tried antibiotics and homeopathy..but was dissappointed. Can you tell me what i have? or how to cure it?

Your symptoms sound eerily similar to allergies, but my speculating isn't going to help you much.  However wonderful it would be if we could diagnose over the Internet, it's not possible.  The only way to get an accurate diagnosis is to call your family physician and have him or her assess you.  Once you have a proper diagnosis, I'm certain your doctor will have the best remedy for your symptoms.

I wrote a post over at the MyAllergyNetwork site about the dangers of diagnosing yourself, that you may find helpful. I would encourage you to read it and I echo Rick's suggestion that you get checked out by your doctor.
