Monitor your temp and breathing, screen for COVID-19. An allergic reaction typically is not associated with fever. Nasal saline rinses may relieve symptoms. A course of antibiotics may be indicated. A virtual consultation with t Healthtap is available. Have a COVID-19 vaccination.

Hello. This sounds like an allergic response causing rhinitis. This nasal inflammation can lead to sinus symptoms such as facial pressure, drainage, and congestion. COVID now has been linked to nasal/sinus symptoms so a test for COVID would be recommended especially if you ha e been exposed. If symptoms progress to fever and worsening headaches, see your Primary Care Provider or your ENT.

My colleagues answers are helpful and can guide your evaluation. The newer Omicron COVID-19 variant appears to frequently present, especially in unvaccinated folks, with nasal, sinus, and throat issues, mimicking allergy. It is wise to have a PCR test to address this issue. Definitely, contact your doctor.
