Suffering From Seasonal Allergies?

Sniffles and sneezes—just a couple of seasonal allergy symptoms

The most common symptoms of seasonal allergies are:

Sneezing
Stuffy nose (congestion)
Runny nose (rhinorrhea)
Itchy nose/ throat/ roof of mouth
Itchy, watery, red eyes

In children, a common sign of seasonal allergies is the “allergic salute,” the frequent habit of using the palm of the hand to push and rub the nose upward to try to stop the itching. This can result in irritation and a small crease in the skin on the lower part of the nose. Children with seasonal allergies may also present with the “allergic shiner,” or dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.

Is it a cold or seasonal allergies? Allergies and colds share common symptoms, like sneezing and runny nose. However, seasonal allergies do not produce a common cold symptom, fever. Also, cold viruses typically do not produce a common allergy symptom, nasal itching. Colds often include muscle aches, not common with allergies. Also, seasonal allergies can last longer than colds, especially during high pollen seasons. If your "cold" lasts a few weeks you should ask your doctor about allergies.
