Allergy or Cold?

Are those sniffles an allergy – or a cold?

It’s peak season for allergies – and for colds. So how can you tell the difference? According to allergist Dean Mitchell, both colds and allergies give you that overall crummy felling, sore throat and dull headache. However, if you’ve got body aches or swollen glands – you’ve probably got a cold. A cold can last about 7 to 10 days. Allergy symptoms can stick around for 2 or 3 weeks.
