HI
I really appreciate your concern, some time this could be due to smoking and if this is associated with the allergic condition then symptoms would be more trouble some, this could be self limiting, just stop the smoking and have some steam inhalation, no need to worry about this, hope this is helps, take care and have a nice day.
