Body aches: With a cold, you have more systemic symptoms and you feel ill with feverishness and body aches. With allergies, you throat is sore but usually does not progress to a systemic illness.

Hydroxyzine: Is an antihistamine that is sedating, it can help you sleep and it treats allergies, doubtful it will help your headaches.
