Is it allergy symptoms or the common cold?
We just got rid of our cat and so the mice are coming around. Shortly after the departure of our cat my nose became stuffy, my eyes were watery, my throat became scratchy and I coughed.
My little toddler now is sneezing, her eyes are watery, and her nose is stuffy.
I think this might be allergy symptoms since it sort of comes and goes, it ping-pongs around, unlike when she gets a cold it comes and then goes away.
So how do I know if it is a cold or allergies?

It souns like allergies- but from what? Have you gotten anything new in your home since the departure of your cat like new fabrics or other animals or is there a lot of dust? It sounds like allergies to me because I have allergies and a lot fo times they are my symptoms- but I have been to the Doctor and was diagnosed with allergies- so I would at least call the docotor and leave a message for him/her. If they can diagnose it over the phone then thats good- however they may need you and your baby to come in for proper diagnosis. You don't mess with allergy medicines if you don't need to take them. Speak with your doctor. Good luck.

I have allergies but I don't ever get a scratchy throat nor do I cough. (I do get red, itchy eyes. And itchy nose.)
I would guess the two of you have a cold. Colds tend to come and go this time of year. The only way to know for sure is to be allergy tested.
Take care.
