What is the difference between a cold and hay fever?
There is a difference between having a cold and suffering from an allergy. Cold symptoms include symptoms that last a week or two, including, a fever, and thick yellow mucus excreting from the nose. Hay fever symptoms are seasonal, appear when the pollen count is high, usually in the spring and fall, no fever appears, mucus is thin and runny, and hay fever can last for months at a time.
