Can't Tell the Difference Between Allergy, Cold or Sinus Infection?
MyoptumHealth.com says: "A head cold or allergies can prime the sinuses, making them inviting to bacteria. Sinusitis generally lasts 10 to 28 days and usually follows a cold or allergies. So if you have pain in the forehead or the face, together with coughing, fever and nasal congestion that lasts more that two weeks, you should see your doctor. Other clues that you might have a sinus infection include pain in the upper teeth, bad breath or loss of sense of smell." www.myoptumhealth.com
