Allergic reactions <\/a>(usually to pollen or other environmental factors) can resemble sinusitis, and it can go together with sinusitis: Commonly, people can have either – and a flare-up of one can practically mean a flare-up of another one. You’ll notice that your sinusitis has definite times when it’s worse than others, and if the cause is pollen it tends to be at a certain time of day or only during certain seasons of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nSee an allergy specialist if you suspect that your sinusitis might be triggered due to allergies: They can help you to find out through a few simple tests exactly what you’re allergic to – and you’ll immediately know what other risk factors to avoid as a result. You might even find out that you have a few allergies that you didn’t know about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinusitis and allergic reactions are usually very easy to manage and control with the avoidance of risk factors and the addition of medication to control flare-ups when they happen. Some allergic reactions are more serious (such as shellfish) and might require more careful management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
