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!
