Try humidifiers,air particle cleaner,nothing seems to make a difference.Maybe it's something else and not caused by the house.Let me know if you figure it out man.brysol01 Thanks this. -
I started using a NeilMed Sinus Rinse kit from Walmart and it solved most of my sinus & throat issues. It cost about $15 and requires distilled water.
Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -
Most likely dry air. My humidifier quit on the furnace at home. Now every morning I wake up with a wad of thick flem in my throat unlike any other.

I've noticed this too. Seems like I get better when I'm home. I also get tiny facial twitches that also go away at home.

Lay off the roller dogs, Red Bull and Mountain Dew.

Another vote for humidity. At home I leave the tea kettle on low, just enough to hear it bubbling away, and it has solved the sinus problem. Absolutely worth throwing a little moolah at a solution.

Go to hardware/home improvement store get a can or 2 (one for under the dash/one for under the bunk) of condenser coil cleaner. Usually near the home ac filters. Get the kind that say "No Rinse". Pull the AC filters and apply to ac coils under dash and under bunk. The filters access point "should" be close enough to the coil, having the ac on helps pull the cleaner in. Let soak a little while, crank up ac for a little bit, replace filters with new or cleaned (shop vac the dirty side if you can't get new filters, better than nada. You can do this on your home AC yearly. AC works less hard and helps fight that funk caused by mold/mildew.
If it's just dust there are really small HEPA filter that should run on an inverter.
If it's moisture there are small personal swamp coolers that would run on an inverter.
I'd clean the AC coils first. Cheaper but more work. Then explore more costly appliances. I have seasonal allergies and this has always been my headache. -
hope not dumb twucker and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.
