Sneezing and a runny nose don't automatically mean allergies. In DFW this time of year, it could be allergies, a cold, or the start of flu, and the difference actually matters for how you treat it.
Allergies show up fast and stay steady: itchy eyes, clear runny nose, no fever, and they'll drag on for weeks if the trigger's still around. A cold builds slower and usually clears in about a week. Flu tends to hit harder and faster, with fever, body aches, and real exhaustion on top of the congestion.
If you're not sure which one you're dealing with, that's exactly what we're here for. A quick visit can tell you, and tell you what actually helps.
