What is the difference between the common cold and allergies?
dmc81076 asked:
I know this question sounds stupid but when I tell people I have a cold I always hear “It could be allergies.” I know the cold is the rhinovirus and an allergy is not a virus. My question is, are there different symptoms for a cold vs. allergies? I really don’t think I am allergic to anything but I am curious about how people come to that conclusion.
They seem to have the same symptoms, so how do you know what it really is?
