My wife, an 81-year-old nursing home resident in the late stages of Alzheimer's, has a persistent moderate to severe watery nasal discharge, mostly external but occasionally internal causing a loose cough. Despite negative allergy blood tests, various medications and sprays, and monitoring food types, the issue remains unresolved. It was first noticed around the time a severe mold problem was addressed in her facility. Our family doctor and two ENT specialists have been unable to help. Can you provide any guidance?

Can you have a false negative pregnancy blood test? Can nursing cause this? I have not had a period since March 3rd, I am still nursing my 23-month-old daughter but I have had regular periods since she was 6 months old. I have four children and I have all the signs but the tests say negative. What else could be wrong?
