Is it allergies or a cold?

We’ve had such a weird cold and flu season this year that totally overlapped the allergy season. 😪🤧 I’ve had so many people confused about whether they are suffering from a cold or allergies, or both! ⁉️

Here’s a great rundown of some of the common symptoms from each side and how the connect. Don’t forget...Acupuncture treats it all!

Allergies :
Seasonal, clear mucus, symptoms 10+ days, itchy ears, nose and throat, year round symptoms or rapid sneezing.

Cold/Flu :
Fever, sore throat, strong initial symptoms, thicker/yellow mucus, hacking cough, muscle aches, chills.

BOTH:
Runny nose, nasal congestion, red watery eyes, loss of energy.
