A member asked:

I had a pulsing headache on my front of my head and fever. also, i was congested. it only lasted a day. was it sinusitis or allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Schleimer answered

Likely allergies: As sinusitis usually presents with a longer timeline, i think allergy would be the best guess.
