Is it allergies or COVID-19? How to tell the difference based on common symptoms
HOUSTON โ Tree pollen is about to cause some trouble in Houston, and this year it may also cause confusion as people wonder if their symptoms are just seasonal allergies or COVID-19 related. โWe are on the brink of our spring allergy season,โ said Dr. Michael Kaplan, an ENT with Houston Sinus Center. But if you have a history of allergies and you can correlate it with the time and the exposure, itโs probably just allergies,โ said Kaplan. โThe tree pollen is going to start to accumulate in the next few weeks.
