How can I tell if it’s allergies or a cold?


Is it ALLERGIES or a COLD?
🤧❄️🌸

ALLERGIES 🌷
Itchy eyes, nose, throat
Clear watery runny nose
Lasts weeks–months
Same time every year
Gets better with antihistamines
No fever

COLD 🦠
Body aches & fatigue
Yellow/green mucus after a few days
Low-grade fever possible
Gone in 7–10 days
People around you are sick

ITCHY EYES OR NOSE = LIKELY ALLERGIES

Colds almost never itch. If your eyes are watering and you want to rub them nonstop → It's likely allergies

If you’ve been congested for more than 2 weeks every year… it’s time to see an allergist
