I have several symptoms of a cold, yet I also may have an allergy. I have a itchy, sore throat, feel hot and cold and a post nasal drip. No fever, and it is lasting about a week. How do I know if it is an allergy? Anyone out their who has some medical knowledge, please reply.

[Thanks I found similiar info.elsewhere. I am off to a Dr. because I am wheezing and it can be bad if ignored. Thanks again and hope you have a good winter.

Wheezing is usually never good. Unless you're an asthmatic and like me, you've reached the point where you don't wheeze unless your functions are UP.... :D I hope you have a wonderful winter too!
