You can't take pseudoephedrine every day. Nor is pseudoephedrine used for allergies - it is a decongestant, not an antihistamine. Nor does immunotherapy "solve" allergies.

A simple google search before posting would have made your fictitious scenario a little bit more believable.

Technically true but it is often paired with loratadine in, e.g., Claritin-D. Many allergy sufferers also get congested sinuses.

Guess what happens when allergens irritate the inside of your nose? You get congested.
