Probably not: The usual symptoms of a nut allergy are hives, itching, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory (lung) symptoms or even anaphylaxis. Pain and sinus congestion are usually related to airborne allergens such as pollen, mold, dander, etc. An allergist can assist in defining if food or environmental allergies are present.
