Steroids are dangerous for long term use, and should not be used for allergic rhinitis.
Try an anti-histamine.

I’VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH ALOT OF ‘ODD’ SYMPTOMS. I’VE BEEN TO THE DOC SEVERAL TIMES AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS. SOME SAY I HAVE CHRONIC SINISITUS OR RHINITIS OR BRONCHITIS, AND /OR ALLERGYS.
MY MAIN COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN THE CONSTANT MUCOUS OR PHLEGM(ABSOLUTELY NO COUGH WITH THE MUCOUS).MY LUNGS ARE CLEAR AND I CAN FEEL THE PHLEGM COMES FROM THE NASAL(OR THE TOP AREA;OF THE BACK OF THROAT)MY NOSE IS NOT STUFFY;AND I BREATHE FINE FROM MY NOSE.I GET EAR ACHES AND A FEELING OF POPPING AND CLOGGED EARS. THIS HAS BEEN FOR 8 MONTHS TOO LONG. I GET JOINT ACHES IN MY HANDS MOSTLY, AND DAILY HEADACHES(USUALLY UPON AWAKENING AND FEEL BETTER AFTER 2 ADVILS)CERTAIN FOODS;MOSTLY SUGARS AND CARBS(BREADS),MAKE THE PHLEGM WORSE FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE MUCOUS IS USUALLY CLEAR AND AT TIMES HAS SPECKS OF BROWN OR YELLOWISH TINT..
AND AT LAST…I DO FEEL FATIGUED AND MY SKIN AND HAIR FEELS EXTREMELY DRY(I USE ALOT OF OILS AND MOISTURIZERS TO HELP IT).I HAVE A SORE TONGUE WITH SLIMY COATING. ANY EXCLAMATION

Either my nose or my lungs ( I can’t really tell which) is producing alot of mucus recently… I keep swallowing my mucus and it makes me hard to breathe sometimes. What is wrong with me? Can it be bronchitis? Or rhinitis? Please help me… Best answer gets 10 points!
I’m no smoker and I NEVER SMOKE
My nose isn’t blocked but I keep swallowing mucus almost all the time. The color of the mucus is clear anyway.

Around August/September, I am getting allergy testing (I am allergic to some common things) and testing for a sleeping disorder (sleep apnea) My SGT told me that I could get a medical discharge for certain allergies, or even just having sleep apnea. Because I have sinusitis, and allergic rhinitis and experiencing constant fatigue and snoring, that is why they want to test me for a sleeping disorder.
I know people that have gotten to stay in the army because of some medical issues, but if I was able to stay in, am I then undeployable? Or would I have to be medically discharged? Also, is there any website where I can find out this information?
I’m in the National Guard, and a 42a-Human Resources Specialist
