URI vs allergies: If this has been going on for a few days it is most likely a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually rest, fluids and OTC analgesics and med for congestion may help. You may also use honey for cough and congestion. If you are having itching associated with symptoms and ongoing might be allergies so medication like OTC loratadine can help.
