A member asked:
Can you tell me how you know if you are sick or just have allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always easy: A "cold" without fever that lasts longer than 2 weeks may well be allergy rather than a clod. Allergies by then selves do not cause fever. Typical allergy symptoms are itchy , teary eyes, clear nasal discharge associated with itching, itchy palate, itchy eras, sneezing, mildly sore throat, even fatigue. Not sure - see a physician.
