If what comes out is clear, it's allergies...if it's green/yellow/brown, etc...you have an infection. Regardless, you should go to the doctor, even if it's allergies, they can give you something.

(It's not the tree, it's the schmutz on the tree) One good sign of a cold would be a fever, but also true colds (rhinovirus) tend to stay in the head. the cough and the heavines in your chest point more towards a Flu virus or Bronchitis. Of the three, cold, flu or bronchitis, only bronchitis will respond to antibiotics as it's usually a bacterial infection and the other two are viruses. So if this is similar to last year...I'm gonna bet it's bronchitis. But don't listen to us, go see your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
