Do I eve have a cold? I have no green mucus from my nose but have other symtoms. (read more)?

Stuffy nose, but no thick mucus coming out. Not coughing but yesterday my head felt congested around the nasal area. Sore throat. I also feel very thirsty as my mouth is parched. Also felt a bit tired and not wanting to do work, so I took the past 2 days off. I don't or didn't have a fever, but I heard a fever doesn't always accompany a cold.

Someone said that it isn't a cold unless green mucus is coming out of your nose. So, what do I have? I woke up one morning after I had the fan on a little to high pointing towards me. I had symptoms for 2 days or so and today is day 3, no runny nose or sore throat but still parched mouth. One of my brother's friends said he was sick recently and visited the house a few days before my symptoms started.

We got A/C installed about a week and a half ago and maybe it's because the relative humidity is lower so I feel the need to drink? Allergies? Hay fever?

If it's spores, how come no one else in my family got sick?

When we got A/c installed we didn't use it for 2 years and I live in a humid climate.

Probably 1 of three things
1) cold virus...rhino virus. you probably wouldn't see green things from ur nose. Nothing to do but wait it out.
2) bacterial infection...you probably would see some green stuff. Then pending on how bad it is or other risk factors...maybe antibiotics.
3) allergies...It is summer time where I'm at and my allergies flare up occasionally...take an antihistamine and maybe some tylenol. My allergies can get wicked to where I really feel sick.

If I were to take a wild guess I'm thinking you caught a cold virus...u should be over it soon tho (2 days).
