My son has never been diagnosed with allergies, but there are times when I wonder: is it a cold, or does he have an allergy? Every spring, his father gets all of the awful symptoms of hayfever. I really don't seem to have the same problem, although I do tend to get many symptoms during the winter (cold and flu season). It doesn't seem that my teens inherited their father's allergies, but I'm not sure. Oh, and my brother, my teens' uncle, had awful allergies growing up, so there could be a genetic connection there, too. One summer, we took a trip cross country--my son seemed to become congested in the dry and arid climates out west. I'm not sure how it all works--dry air/little humidity causing sinus problems? Anyway, my son had a lot of symptoms last weekend and was miserable--not sure if it was a cold or an allergy, though. He doesn't seem to get this way EVERY spring like his father does, so I'm not sure.
