Hay Fever vs. Sinusitis
Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) allergy symptoms are characterized by a runny nose, sneezing and congestion, and itchy eyes, nose, throat and inner ears. Non-allergic rhinitis (sinusitis) is characterized by the following symptoms to allergies: a swollen, inflamed nasal lining and a stuffy nose.
