Allergy or Cold?

2006-12-16 6:37:17 Viewed: [ Font:Large Medium Small] [ Close]

Do you find that patients often confuse colds and allergy?
Definitely. There are just so many overlapping symptoms between the two that it s very easy to confuse them. Doctors confuse them as well.


So what is the difference between what causes a cold and an allergy?
An allergy is an inappropriate immune response to a substance in the environment that s normally harmless. A cold is an infection which is contagious. Ninety-nine percent of the time it is caused by a virus, and very rarely by bacteria.


What are the signs and symptoms of each one?
The signs that are common to the two are runny nose and nasal congestion. More particular to allergies are the itchy, watery eyes and/or throat and the clear, runny nose. With colds you are more likely to have a fever, and maybe some sinus pain. Also the mucus discharge may be a different color, like green or yellow.


How can a person tell the difference?
It s difficult. But if you re getting a cold at the same time every year, or after you visit your cousin who has a cat, and get symptoms, you might have an allergy. There are also some other telltale signs of having an allergy, like eczema, itchy skin, asthma or a history of allergies in the family. A cold usually follows a time course of about 7 to 10 days, usually with a predictable series of symptoms. But it is possible that they have identical symptoms.


How does a doctor tell them apart?
Using good detective work, but sometimes it s trial and error. If the person s coming back to the doctor again and again and the cold remedies aren t working, a doctor will begin to suspect it s an allergy.
