URI or allergies: This could be a cold (URI-upper respiratory infection) or allergies. If it is a cold it should last for about a week and will improve with no treatment, though you can use over the counter medicines for symptoms. If it is allergies you may need to take an antihistamine like loratadine (claritin) to help with symptoms. If you get worse or develop high fever or new symptoms you should see a doctor.
