JC, Karen, Les et al:
I have a similar problem except that mine goes away after I've vocalized
or sung for 15-20 minutes. I have lots of allergies & get 2-3 sinus
infection a year. Actually, phlegm on the cords & bad management of
breath make a lot of sense for my situation but I'd like to hear other
thoughts on this as well. Been to the ENT & he doesn't see anything
unusual or problematic.
