Brief history. It started three years ago and hasn't gone away. Burning nose, sneezing runny nose and cough (thats new). Comes and goes. But it's everyday. Been to the doctor many times, I'm on flonase but gives me a bloody nose. Neti pots don't work. Diagnosed allergies. So that's it in a nut shell. Oh I'm allergic to most allergy meds. They make me all antcee and itchy inside. Is antcee a word?

Welcome to the forum.

What kind of doctor are you seeing? You need an allergist.

Flonase does nothing for me. There are nasal antihistamines like Astepro that work for me, but they're too expensive. I get the shots and don't have allergy symptoms to treat.

I like the large NeilMed squeeze bottle better than netti pots. They give some pressure to the wash. Never use tap water; there's a chance of brain eating ameba.
