How can i tell the difference in symptoms between allergies and a cold? allergies will give you a cleary runny (lack of better terms) snot. colds or infections are usually a thicker, sometimes greenish color if it is an infection. both can cause sneezing and/or headaches. colds will usually last longer as an allergy will clear when the allergen is removed or gone. start with benedrly or a similar allergy med and see if it helps. Source(s): allergy sufferer all my life http://coldflu.about.com/od/othercommoni... You usually do not have a fever with allergies, but with a cold you usually have a little fever. Allergies your nose and eyes usually itch, with a cold they don't. When you are suffering from a cold it is not possible to note the difference between symptoms due to allergies and virus infection. Only an indepth investigation will reveal this. Allergic rhinitis can happen anytime when the allergen is around for example, dust, pollens, mites, or many other things. Where as viral infections usually occur when the weather changes. Allergic colds are usually treated with anti-colinergic medicines while infectious colds are treated with antibiotics. You don't run a fever with allergies. |
