Ever considered that it might be hay fever?

I've been having the same symptoms as you for a few weeks - sneezing, stuffy nose alternating with runny nose, sore throat, coughing up green and clear phlegm... thought I had a cold virus ... only when my eyelids started feeling itchy and sore yesterday and my mum suggested it might be hay fever did I look it up and noticed that the symptoms matched.

It's also called non-allergic rhinitis, and I was diagnosed with this some years ago during a hot dry summer. Thought nothing of it at the time but have since considered that I often start to get that 'bunged up' feeling when the warm
humid weather comes along. Never thought it was hay fever.
