Coronavirus symptoms vs Allergies: Some of these symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, are very unique and a strong indicator of infection. 

None of these symptoms is very pleasant, but how do you know if they are symptoms of coronavirus or seasonal allergies? Continue reading to find out.

Body aches

If you have a cold or a fever, your joints and muscles will ache. This can never happen with allergies, so if you have pain and discomfort, it may be time to consult a doctor.

Itching of eyes

A cold virus can attack the cells of your respiratory system. But when it comes to allergies, dust, pollen or other irritants go into your mucous membranes, including those in your eyes. So if you are itching your eyes with a runny nose and sore throat, you will suffer from allergies rather than cold.

Throat pain

Allergic reactions can cause some soreness or tenderness in the throat as a result of post-nasal drops – meaning mucus can irritate your nostrils down the back of your throat. But that feeling should go away once your nose stops running. 

If you notice that your throat has been swollen for a long time or you have difficulty swallowing, you should seek the advice of a medical provider because it may be a sign of cold or infection.

Flu

When pathogens attack your body, the immune system responds by raising the temperature of the blood, and you get the flu. You may experience mild fever with mucus, but never due to allergies. If you are concerned about the severity of the flu, contact your doctor.

Similar signs

Why do people confuse colds and allergies, especially when they first notice the symptoms? Both conditions cause runny nose, congestion, sneezing, and sometimes coughing.

If you find yourself with these symptoms in the fall or spring, it happens annually and you may have a seasonal allergy. Of course, the best way to find out what allergies you have is to set up an appointment with your doctor or an allergist.

You can run tests to tell you the specific plant or substance that causes these undesirable ailments.
