Colds and allergies can sometimes be confused during allergy season but another misdiagnosis often occurs with allergies and sinusitis. That nasal congestion and scratchy throat you're experiencing this spring may not be from allergies. Chronic sinusitis is often misdiagnosed as allergies because of similar symptoms. Even you, the sufferer, may not realize it's not allergies. My doctors and I have been misdiagnosing my sinusitis for quite awhile as year-round allergies. Let us know if you have had similar problems getting the right diagnosis.
