spring cold or allergies سرما خوردگی بهاره یا آلرژی

Some of the symptoms are similar to colds, such as sneezing, sore throat, coughing, runny nose, and congestion. Sore throat in allergies is most often caused by postnasal drip. Allergies can also cause rashes and itchy eyes. Fevers and body aches are not signs of an allergy.

Runny nose can be caused by anything that irritates or inflames the nasal tissues. Infections — such as the common cold and influenza — allergies and various irritants may all cause a runny nose. Some people have a chronically runny nose for no apparent reason — a condition called nonallergic rhinitis or vasomotor rhinitis (VMR).

Less commonly, runny nose can be caused by polyps, a foreign body, a tumor or migraine-like headaches.

Causes of runny nose include:      

           - Acute sinusitis
           - Allergies
           - Chronic sinusitis
           - Churg-strauss syndrome
           - Common cold
           - Decongestant nasal spray overuse
           - Deviated septum
           - Drug addiction
           - Dry air
           - Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis)
           - Hormonal changes
           - Influenza (flu)
           - Lodged object
           - Medications
           - Nasal polyps
           - Nonallergic rhinitis
           - Occupational asthma
           - Pregnancy
           - Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
           - Spinal fluid leak
           - Tobacco smoke
