Allergies Symptoms

Symptoms: When It’s More Than Just “Un Resfriado”

So how do you know if you’ve got allergies and not just a lingering cold? The answer’s in the pattern. If your symptoms are showing up like clockwork—or only around certain triggers—it’s worth paying attention.

Common Allergy Symptoms:

• Sneezing (especially in the morning)
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Scratchy throat or dry cough
• Sinus pressure or headaches
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Skin irritation like rashes or eczema
• Wheezing or shortness of breath (linked to allergic asthma)
  

The most common types of allergies include:

• Seasonal allergies (hay fever): Triggered by pollen from trees, grass, or weeds.
• Indoor allergies: Think dust mites, cockroaches, mold, and pets.
• Food allergies: Common culprits include dairy, nuts, shellfish, and eggs.
• Environmental triggers: Air pollution and cigarette smoke can worsen symptoms.
  

If symptoms persist longer than 10 days, or return regularly around the same time each year, it’s probably not just something in the air—it is allergies.
