Allergies – Symptoms and Causes

Cold-Like Symptoms

Allergic symptoms happen when your immune system overreacts and attempts to fight against harmless allergens, such as dust, pet dander, or pollen. As a result, it would cause an inflammatory reaction. This leads to some flu or cold-like issues, such as coughing, increased body temperature, sore throat, body ache, runny nose, sneezing, and fatigue. Since these symptoms are not uncommon, having them does not necessarily mean that you have an allergy. Notice other symptoms and inform your doctor to ensure a precise diagnosis. [2]
