Have tried several medications such as Zyrtec D, Flonase, Nasonex, Xyzal....also nasal rinses, and some
vitamins and herbs...nothing works
for long. Today the doc decided to start testing me for allergies to try to get to the root of the fluid and swelling in my ears. Your results sound interesting. I have in the past from time to time has what I think are fever blisters around the corners of my mouth. Is there a test for Herpes simplex 1? I may mention this to my ENT next time I go there.
