How Can You Differentiate Between a Cold and Allergies?
Cold symptoms usually include a runny nose, cough, mild fever, and general malaise, lasting around 7-10 days. Allergies, on the other hand, may present with a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, and throat, and typically last as long as the child is exposed to the allergen. Allergy symptoms are often seasonal and can be triggered by pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.
