Spring is here, bringing the pollen, allergies and the respiratory discomfort that comes along with it. May has been designated as National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.  Millions of Americans suffer from sinus problems, allergies, and asthma. Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common chronic conditions, affecting 10 to 30 percent of adults and adolescents in the U.S.
