Symptoms. . .

​

  1. Sore throat, but no cold.

  2. Was only on one side (right). But now both sides (or at least it feels so - more spread out).

  3. Congested only when sleeping, only right nostril and only when sleeping on right side - decongests when I get on my left.

  4. Persisting for 8 days now.

  5. Throat hurts/burns when I drinkroom temperature water but no pain when drinking cold water or any other drink.

  6. Coughing.

  7. Coughing phlegm, almost clear.

  8. Runny nose, thick discharge similar to the last stage of a cold.

  9. Voice change (kind of like when you first wake up).

  10. Cigarette smoke irritated my throat. I am not a smoker.

Some more info:

I have rhinitis. Had it all my life. I recently had been taking antihistamine (cetirizine) everyday (10mg) for 3 months. Changed cities and stopped taking it. This problem started shortly afterwards.

Any ideas?
