    So since Saturday night I've been having the sniffles, sneezing, stuffy nose, watery eyes, clogged ears, etc. I'm wondering is it allergies (because apparently goldenrod is highly active right now) or is it a head cold or something else. I've taken Benadryl, liquid Benadryl for both allergy and hayfever, Claritin, etc and NOTHING works I still have ALL the symptoms...so I really am wondering WHAT this is...

    The problem with Benadryl is that it is really false advertised, it doesn't take the sympoms away, it just takes the edge off.

    Sounds like allergies, if you get a fever or have sweats or chills then its a cold.

    Try eatting some spicy food and take a hot shower that should provide you with some relief.

    It didn't sadly...I'm going to wait for Kara's answer. Though to admit I haven't taken Claritin or Allegra or anything...

    Have you been running a fever? I get the same symptoms whenever I get a sinus infection.

    I hope you feel better soon. :slight_smile:
