Sometimes you do have a cough with allergies.
Fortunately the treatments are similar.
Use steam and hot drinks such as hot tea or hot bouillon to clear your head and sooth your throat.
Wash your hands frequently so you won't reinfect yourself.
Douse your toothbrush with alcohol in the morning for the same reason.
Use zinc lozenges, and take extra vitamin C.
If it's allergies, dust with a damp cloth frequently and do whatever else you have to do to get the allergen out of your environment.
Feel better!

you can get a cough with allergies, but it is the beginning of cold and flu season, and you probably are catching a cold. if you can, go to the store and buy some zicam and start using it, I swear, my friend gave mea cold, I knew I was gonna get it, and as soon as I felt it comong on, I started using zicam, and 5 days later I am almost better, and I was a wreck the first two days. she has been really sick for a week and a half. I think the zicam really shortened the duration, that is what it claims to do : ) there are different forms, I bought the swabs that you stick in your nose
