Sinusitus Or Allergies? The Nose Knows!

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — You're sneezing your bloody head off and reach for a cold pill. But what if you don't have a cold at all and the culprit is really an allergy?

Dr. Marc Kerner was an in-studio guest on the KCAL 9 News at 2 p.m. to discuss the differences and to also discuss a new treatment called balloon dilation.
