I've never had allergies before until i started developing a lot of phlegm/mucus in the summer, i had to start clearing my throat every so often. It got worse during the winter and i always had like stuffy noses but not that bad but i couldn't breathe right through my nose. I was prescribed a nasal spray thing and i finished the bottle and it hasn't done anything. And now like a month ago i woke up with a really stuffy nose and one of my ears blocked i couldn't really hear anything out of it, it started unblocking like a week after and i still have it though it just sounds like i have water in that ear it makes a sound when i swallow like when your ears pop. It doesn't hurt or anything its just reallyy annoying. Idk i used earwax removal drops i bought and it hasn't done anything either. What the hell is wrong with me? Im going to make an appointment at the doctors soon.

Is this allergies?

Definitely time to see a doctor. You may have an allergy but it may well be a throat infection and/or a sinus infection. Depending what it is there will be different treatments. You may also need wax removed from that ear - the drops make it easier to remove but by themselves usually aren't enough.

You think it could be an infection? Because i've even used things like mucinex and it didn't really work. But i think it might be something in my family because my dad is always clearing his throat too, but its just weird that i only started doing that this summer...its so annoying because its worse in the morning.
