How do I know if I have Hay Fever or a Cold?

My symptoms are:
runny nose
itchy throat
sneezing
lots of phlem
slight fever

I do suffer from hay fever but usually only in Spring, it is now just 2 weeks into Summer and we've had a lot of rain, so I'm not sure if its just a cold or it is hay fever?

Allergies don't give you a fever. And it's not hay fever season anymore, so you probably have a cold. Stay hydrated, and I hope you feel better soon!

Take an antihistamine tablet. If the symptoms clear up, it's hayfever!

Make the connection.

If you or a loved one suffers from Asthma, Allergies, Autism, chronic headaches, reproductive problems, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia, you need to read further and learn about the signs and symptoms of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Most doctors will not tell you this because it is so simple and so "not medical" but nonetheless it is VERY important. Also, patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and many of these meds either do not work or cause other problems.

Chemicals are often the root of all evil when it comes to your health. If you use any of the below mentioned items it is common to have sinus, asthma , itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.

In addition, many people become ill after installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or home renovations due to off gassing of VOC's and Formaldehyde..

I am a nurse with over 25 years experience in this area and I have seen a lot of people with various illnesses caused from chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC鈥檚 in their home. This problem is growing as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.

We are seeing more and more children with Asthma and respiratory illnesses. I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about MCS and the harm from chemicals and fragranced products.
