Allergy?: It is entirely possible to develop a pollen allergy. Try one of the available otc allergy medication for 5-7 days and see if this helps your symptoms. Alternatively, check in with your medical provider for evaluation and definitive treatment.

Allergies.: That sounds like allergies. Nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, facial pains and earache can be triggered by fragrances, dust mites (sweeping the floor), grass, trees, pets, pollen, environmental molds and such. There are outdoor and indoor allergens. OTC nasal steroid and nasal saline are worth a try.
