Hi,

If this is a cold I have, I don't ever remember getting sick since ages ago.

My MIL and I went into Target today to get some needed stuff and about 2 minutes after I walked in, we were in the clothing section for a few minutes, my nose started running and I started sneezing, I don't recall being allergic to any materials, so I don't know.

We got home to her house and the nose stopped running for a few minutes, I actually got some relief, then it started dripping even worse, like a faucet, I went through 1/2 box of tissues, I finally took a cold pill that she gave me and the nose stopped running for a little bit, thank God, because my nose was rubbed raw at this point. Then it started running again.

Well it is about 6 hours later and my nose was running a bit ago, I came home and took a Benadryl Allergy and Cold pill, well my nose has pretty much been dry for 1/2 hour and I am feeling really tired, which Benadryl always does for me.

I took 2000 mg of vitamin C, multivitamin, aspirin.

I don't know if this is a cold or allergies, but I can't stand feeling this way.

What do you all think, could it have been something in the store or do you think it could be an onset of a cold, I don't think my nose would still be running and sneezing if it were allergies, but who am I, I really don't know.

I will be going out of town next week and really don't want a cold, I always take alot of precautions so I don't get sick, wash my hands about 10 times a day, eat healthy, exercise, I just hope this isn't a cold.

And if this is a cold, what do you all suggest to kick this out of me fast, are there any miracle home remedies?

Thanks.

Drink plenty of fluids, get plenty of rest...

Allergies are only present when you are exposed to something you are allergic to, so the symtoms come and go. A cold will be present for a few days, then go away. So if this is something that keeps coming back, I would suspect an allergy. Right now though, from what you've described, I'm thinking begining of a cold. Do you have any other symptoms? For example, itchy, watery, eyes would be an idication of allergy. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest, and this will pass. :) Get well soon! Being sick is no fun!
