You can get the flu or a cold from another person that has that virus, even though you may be in good health. This happens when you breathe in germs or come in direct contact with the infected person. To prevent yourself from getting the flu or a cold, get a flu shot every year, frequently wash your hands, use a disinfectant, and be careful when sneezing and coughing around others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\">Let the flu or cold run its course. Get rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy foods. Over-the-counter medications, like a decongestant or nasal sprays, can help relieve your&nbsp;symptoms, but they do not cure your cold\u2014only time can do that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><strong>Allergies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\">Nasal allergies occur during exposure to an allergen, and your nasal cavity becomes irritated and inflamed.&nbsp;Unlike the flu or cold, allergies are not contagious. If you have a high temperature or an achy body, it is most likely the flu or cold rather than allergies. Common indoor and outdoor allergens include tree, grass and weed pollen, dust mites, animal dander, mold, and cockroaches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\">There is no cure for allergies, but there are prescription and&nbsp;over-the-counter medications that treat allergy symptoms.&nbsp;For some people,&nbsp;allergy shots (immunotherapy), can help to reduce your sensitivity to allergens over time.
