It is best to use common sense. If you can relate the symptom to another health problem, then it is probably not related to sarcoidosis. However, if you cannot, sarcoidosis should be considered. For example, if you have a cough, nasal congestion, and fever for 2 or 3 days then you probably have a cold. However, if it lasts 2 to 3 weeks then these symptoms cannot be explained by a cold, and other diseases such as sarcoidosis should be considered.
