"Some patient's with allergies are more sensitive to weather changes, it may just be the cold air that causes their rhinitis symptoms or their nose symptoms to kind of flare up but it’s also the change in the environment around this time of year," said Allergist, Erin Cannington.

Cannington added that she has been seeing a lot of people who mistake allergies for sickness, and you should visit a doctor for a diagnosis.
