For more than 30 years, Doctors have commented on how much my sinus drains.
My hubby and I were at a restaurant over 25 years ago and they were cleaning their A/C ducts. My eyes stung, my throat burned and I started a small "tickle cough". My husband (then didn't understand allergies) said I'd get used to it as we'd already ordered! Other's were coughing too. No one I ask will tell me what they USED to use for cleaning of air duct work in A/C ducts (commerical ).
From that late afternoon--I have had a tickle cough (you can hear on our 25th anniversary video (1987) this tickle cough then started to inflame my bronchial area and I started wheezing (only during a bad allergy season)--but they diagnosed me with ASTHMA. I know that when coughing starts IF I don't swallow--I DON'T COUGH!
I keep asking if it couldn't be caused by sinus drainage NO from the bronchial area originally! No one will answer me. I have had sinus x/ray (showed an infection once but nothing else). My family doctor says I shouldn't "live" on decongestants at my age---(65) what to do? TIRED OF COUGHING!
