A member asked:
When i have a blocked nose and sinus pain i take cold and flu tablets and they help it when i take allergie ones they don't does this mean its colds?

Not necessarily: Cold tablet usually contains a decongestant when antihistamine does not. Since oral antihistamine does not decongest the nose , whether you have allergy or not cannot be solely differentiated by the drug response. Allergy does not usually cause a fever, loss of appetite, or extreme fatigue however.
