The Laborers Health & Wellness clinics are here for your cold, allergy and well-being needs.
A runny, yet stuffy nose. An annoying cough. A scratchy throat. Something’s settling in, but at this time of year, it can be tough to know if it’s a cold or seasonal allergies.
5 ways to know if your symptoms are allergy-related
For some, allergy symptoms just include a few sneezes. But for others, seasonal allergies can cause congestion, a runny or itchy nose, watery eyes, headaches and more for months at a time. Here are some of the telltale symptoms of allergies:
- Allergies follow a pattern and symptoms stick around longer
- Allergies don’t cause fevers
- Allergies don’t cause wet coughs
- Itchy eyes, ears, nose and throat signal allergies
- Allergies rarely cause sore throats or body aches
When to seek care
If you aren’t sure if it’s a cold or allergies, or if your symptoms are severe or long-lasting, it’s best to connect with your Laborers Health & Wellness team to get an official diagnosis and treatment plan. If your symptoms are left untreated, you could become more prone to getting sinus infections.
