Check Your Symptoms Symptoms of allergies and colds can be similar, but here's how to tell the difference:
Colds		Allergies
Occurrence of symptoms:	Symptoms often appear one at a time: first sneezing, then a runny nose, then congestion.	Symptoms occur all at once.
Duration of symptoms:	Generally last from seven to 10 days.	Continue as long as a person is exposed to the allergy-causing agent (allergen).
Mucus:	Often a yellowish nasal discharge, due to an infection.	Generally a clear, thin, watery discharge.
Sneezing:	Less common than with allergies.	More common than with colds, especially when sneezing occurs two or three times in a row.
Time of year:	More common during winter.	More common in spring through fall, when plants are pollinating.
Fever:	May be accompanied by a fever.	Not usually associated with a fever.
