To understand the difference between a cold and allergies, it is important to know that some cold symptoms are actually the same as some allergy symptoms. Plus, everyone experiences colds and allergies a little differently. It’s no wonder why it can be challenging to figure out exactly what’s going on.
Signs of colds vs allergies
Symptoms for allergies can vary and can be more prevalent in the spring and fall for seasonal allergy sufferers. Colds can cause different symptoms and sometimes, the symptoms may be more severe. This chart explains some of the differences.
What are allergies?
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances like pet dander, pollen, dust mites, and mold.
Your body attacks allergens by releasing chemicals, like histamines, that cause allergy symptoms like:
- sneezing.
- itchy & watery eyes.
- runny nose.
- stuffy nose.
What is a cold?
Cold symptoms occur when your immune system attacks a cold virus.
Colds can have some of the same symptoms as allergies, but there are key differences:
- Germs that cause colds are contagious.
- Cold symptoms tend to disappear in 7 to 10 days (if cold symptoms last longer than 2 weeks, consider contacting your doctor).
Do not use Afrin products for more than three days. Frequent or prolonged use may cause nasal congestion to recur or worsen. If you still need a nasal decongestant after using Afrin for 3 days, please consult your healthcare professional.
