i'm sure you'll get a lot of answers from others here
more knowledgeable, but i know for US, we had
'congestion' problems until recently...

both of my boys would constantly swallow, swallow,
swallow and almost choke up-- kinda like (& this is
gross, but) when you're sick with a head cold or
something and you get a lot of drainage in the back of
your throat and keep feeling the need to swallow hard
to be able to breathe? well, they couldn't sleep well
and always seemed congested. they would even gulp
loud enough to hear it across the room. this went on
all day, every day & every night (especially) for well
over a year.

last month Wyatt & this past Friday Ethan had tonsils
and adenoids taken out. we'd had them on Claritin for
over a year b/c the doctors wouldnt' listen that it
wasn't allergies and it helped to dry them up a
little. well, neither one of them has had a single
dose of allergy meds since their surgeries and are
both doing AWESOME... no more gulping/ swallowing and
are sleeping a lot better (more quietly and
restfully).

anyways, just one possibility/ suggestion.
