Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. SEASON 5 HERE WE COME! Have you ever had a sore, scratchy throat and can’t tell whether the problem is seasonal allergies, an infection, a cold, or the flu? Well, you’re definitely not alone. With allergy season getting longer and worse, you may find yourself experiencing symptoms you may not have experienced before or the symptoms you typically experience hit your system harder. You may experience symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing, but are those the only symptoms you can experience?
Today’s episode is all about whether or not allergies can cause a sore throat and/or a cough. Valencia discusses what is a sore throat, the difference between a cold and allergies, how your body reacts to a cold/virus/flu versus how your body reacts to allergens, whether or not allergies can cause a sore throat, and much more. Tune in to learn more about Valencia’s love for softball and baseball, her recent food favorites, the explanation behind why you may experience a runny nose, and the connection between a sore throat and allergies. This episode is definitely a good one!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
