Is this just a long lasting head cold or maybe allergies? any suggested meds?!


Question: Is this just a long lasting head cold or maybe allergies? any suggested meds?
Hey!
So I have a had a cold for about 2 weeks now, but I am starting to think it is not a cold but maybe allergies?
Like some days my ‘cold’ feels worse and other days it feels more minor. Like my head feels fine but my ears are blocked and I can’t hear well and my nose is runny/stuffy and lastly, my throat hurts, it is sore and almost cold and my gland feels painful and I have a lot of msucus and a raspy voice.
So, what do you think? what meds are best for colds, allergies? What can help me feel better, like more energized and ready to take on the day?
And I am going to the doctor in 2 days so…
Please help, thanks =]

It's always best to see your doctor about taking anything, but from personal experience, I can tell you that the best thing I've ever taken for allergies is Zyrtec so it's something you could ask him about. Usually, if it's a cold, you'll have some fever with it as well as your mucus being discolored, brown, yellow, or greenish. With allergies, your mucus will normally be clear to cloudy. Still, the best thing is to see a doctor for any condition lasting over a few days to make sure it's nothing more serious. See your doctor, ask him about Zyrtec if he thinks it's just allergies.
