It’s pretty easy to confuse allergy symptoms with cold symptoms. Figure out which it is so you can get the right relief.

Question 1:
How long have you been experiencing symptoms?
Colds usually last 3 to 14 days. Allergies can hang around for months if you don’t reduce your exposure to what’s triggering them.
Question 2:
How are your eyes?
Colds rarely bother your eyes, but allergies love making your eyes watery and itchy.

Question 3:
Are you having aches and pains?
If you’re experiencing aches and pains, you probably have a cold. Colds usually travel with general aches and pains. Allergies do not.
Question 4:
Do you have a fever?
If you have a fever, you have a cold. Allergies do not cause a fever.
