Are Headaches And Cough Considered Allergy Symptoms?

hello
my name is Ryan
I'm 15
and I'm not sure if I have allergy symptoms or if I have something else.
On Wednesday night, what I think is my allergies started to kick in. I started to have a 3 part cough (cough, cough, a little pause and then another cough). I live in northern NJ and trees are blooming everywhere. Since I am allergic to pollen, dust, mold, and ragweed, I thought that this was definitely the problem. On Thursday, it got a little worse, so I closed my windows and instead put on the A/C even though it was quite cool out. However, the cough stayed the same. I drank (and still am) lots of water and had a cough drop every other hour or two. Friday, I thought was a bit better since I went down to a 2 part cough, but the occasional cough would hurt my throat. Shockingly, I did not have a runny nose, headache, anything else, but the cough. However, I changed my mind on Saturday what I thought. In the morning, I went to help out at an outdoor fundraiser and there were trees everywhere. I knew this would be bad and went in and out consistently. Then, I started to get headaches and back aches, but no usual runny nose. Afterward, I went to my uncle's house and I felt much better. I thought that maybe the different trees had an effect on me, but as soon as we got in the car, it started up again. I took a cough medicine and slept, but it didn't do anything. I then saw I had a fever of 102. I took medicine and went back to sleep. This morning (Sunday), the fever was "gone" to me and I just had the cough again. When I took my temperature afterward, I was at 99 something. Now, I am at normal temperature, have a cough, now a slight runny nose, and every once in a while get a chill.

After this too long story, is it allergies or something else? What should I do?
