How do you tell the difference between sinus problems and allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easy: Sinus problem is a vague term and may mean headache, pressure, or congestion. Allergies often cause nasal congestion and congestion in the sinuses as well. In fact, the world allergy association would like to use the term allergy rhinosinusitis to denote the connection. See an allergist
