The easiest way to tell the difference between the two is how long they last â which unfortunately doesnât help when symptoms first strike! A common cold usually lasts no longer than ten days, while allergies can pester people for months on end.
Note also the considerable overlap of these diseases. In a patient without allergies and asthma, a cold is typically a mild illness lasting no longer than 2 weeks. But some colds can be severe and last up to 6 weeks. In patients with allergies, nasal symptoms can last considerably longer than 6 weeks after a cold. In patients with asthma, colds can exacerbate the asthma for a long time, and produce much prolonged cough. Finally, untreated nasal allergies are a common cause of uncontrolled asthma. Great question.
