What Causes Allergic Cold And Throat Discomfort?

I have had a slightly runny nose, tickle/heaviness in my throat for about 10 days. No aches, fever, cough or headaches and am energetic but it is annoying. If it was in the Spring or Fall I would chalk it up to allergies - can you get allergies this time of year? I had chest flu around New Years.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hey there.
Thank you for posting in healthcare magic.
I carefully read your query and realize your point of concern.

From your presentation, I think you are suffering from allergic rhinitis. Allergies may occur at time other than spring or fall. It can occur in different thing like cold, dust, pet, flower pollen etc.
probably you have one of those factors and have the symptoms.

As you do not have other problem like fever,headache,cough, it is not serious. Try to find out the allergen and avoid the thing ,you wil be better. You can also take antihistamine like cetirizine, diphenhydramine to get rid of symptoms.

Hope this will help you.
wish you good health.
regards
