Lately I've been waking up feeling like I have a cold?

Question

At first I thought it was because I was sleeping with my window open and my ceiling fan on. So I closed the window and turned the fan off. But I still woke up with a sore/scratchy throat, coughing, stuffed up nose, and sinus pressure. Some days it only lasts for a few hours after being out of bed. One day it lasted all day and I could hardly talk. Could it be allergies or a cold? Is there anything I could do about it?

Answer 1

I think it is allergies- I get the same thing. It goes away after a little while every morning. It is all the dust in your bed room. Try getting an air purifier- they really help!!! Try vacuuming often in your bedroom as well, to get rid of as much dust as you can! Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Definitely allergies.  You can buy allergy covers for your pillow that will cut down on the symptoms.
