IS IT A COLD OR NASAL ALLERGIES?
Symptoms of nasal allergies and the common cold look a lot alike:
Runny nose
Sneezing
Stuffiness
It can be difficult to tell if you have a cold or are suffering from nasal allergies.
Think about how long you’ve had the symptoms. The average cold lasts from 3 days
to 2 weeks.
If your symptoms tend to develop suddenly they may be a sign of nasal allergies.
A few other differences between the common cold and nasal allergies:
Unlike a cold, nasal allergies are not contagious
Fever and/or body aches are a sign of a cold or infection, not nasal allergies
As always, it’s important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine if
you have nasal allergies.
