Singing with allergies/asthma?

I do have allergies, but usually, they don't affect my singing.

I do too (depending on what area of the country I'm in though), and Zyrtec works very well for me...if it's not helping, try switching to another medication (but try to get one that isn't "drowsy.")

Also, suck on lots of Ricola and don't be ashamed to cough up and spit out that disgusting phlem, just make sure you're alone

I have allergies as well and NO medications seem to work for me. The best thing you can do is stay healthy and warm up daily.

FYI you cant OD on Vitamin C...so always having menthol free, Vitamin C cough drops with you is wonderful. I have allergies, and when it gets bad I drink A LOT of water, take hot showers to sort of "drain myself", and drink lots of tea with either honey or lemon (depending on how im feeling) to keep my throat moist. I also avoid caffiene, anything fatty, and exercise more. I also use Flonase and take Allegra (sometimes Allegra D)

My voice teacher uses this thing called a "netti pot". Does anyone use these? I want to try it just because it sounds cool. What do yall think?

Oh, and I take Claritin. It usually helps.

its really difficult to sing when you have lots of mucus in your throat (I often do when im sick) although after i'm sick (and i've blown my nose millions of times) then my nasal passages and throat feel much more open and assist me with my singing
