Usually not: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) rarely causes headaches. If you have severe nasal symptoms for several days the swollen nasal lining may interfere with frontal sinus drainage causing frontal pressure and if this continues the pressure can increase to pain. This process develops and resolves over many days. If you have the sudden onset of headache resolving in 24 hr, it is not allergy related.

Yes: Yes indeed if you are having nasal congestion and/or problems over the frontal sinuses (like sinusitis). Are you having nasal symptoms with this? Keep in mind that it could also be migraines (usually just one side of your forehead), tension headaches, among many other causes for headaches.
