Why I Love to Sing?

            I know I JUST posted about dealing with a Summer or Fall cold but colds, viruses, or other Upper Respiratory Infections are not the only sources of our “Seasonal Sniffles.” MAYBE you have ALLERGIES. My youngest daughter is 22 years old, and somehow, it was not until THIS year that she began to show signs of seasonal allergies. I had always been told that it took as many as 12 years to develop an allergy, but evidently, it can take even longer than that, depending on the person. As a general “Rule-of-Thumb”, infections are suspected when there is “Color” in your mucus such as yellow, or ESPECIALLY, green. Colds and viruses, generally last only about a week. However, allergies last as long as the particular allergen remains in the air. Obviously, there are OTHER symptoms for “Bacterial” infections that a medical professional could certainly diagnose. If you do, indeed, have an infection, it may be necessary to obtain prescription medications to cure your infection.
