Is that a cold or allergies that you have there?

Have you been suffering from a runny nose, an itchy throat, sinus pressure and a feeling of lethargy? If so, do you know if you actually have a cold (a viral infection) or are just suffering from an allergic reaction to something in the immediate environment?

It's sometimes hard to tell, as many of the symptoms between the two are very similar. But, if in doubt, you can take this small quiz over at iVillage and find out exactly what your malady is most likely to be.

One quick sign usually does it for me -- the running of a fever. If I'm having an allergic reaction to something, there is generally no fever -- but there sure is if I have a cold!
