Allergies or just a cold?

[Natalie Z]

I'm feeling really under the weather. Woke up Saturday with a horribly irritated throat, slight nasal congestion, and tons of sneezing. I also noticed the same day that the trees in the park outside my window had just started blooming and I've had some serious joint pain as well. I'm not running a fever and I'm not that congested, but my throat and ears are king of itchy today. I was just wondering if this is more typical of a cold or allergies..I've never noticed myself having any type of allergies before but it also doesn't really seem like a cold!

maybe it is a coincidence that all the pains came at the same time.An irritated throat,tons of sneezing and nasal congestion would have been due to cold weather.You would have not slept in a correct posture,therefore you could have had a joint pain.Usually if you get a cold it might affect the ears ,therefore your ears might have been itchy.

So this is not an allergy. It is just a cold

its probably just a cold.

if it goes on for long after you should be better, then you might have allergies.

if you say that youve never had allergies before, then its not very likely for you to develop them, but still possible.
