Q: How to know if I suffer from a cold, sinusitis or an allergy?
A: It is true that it is difficult to distinguish these 3 symptoms from one another. When a person suffers from a cold, he will have a runny nose and/or congestion state often accompanied by sneezing, red eye and even headaches. Moreover, he will feel tired. Normally, these symptoms appear successively. At the time of an allergy, these symptoms appear all at once. On the other hand, symptoms of sinusitis consist of thick, yellowish nasal secretions and sometimes even greenish, and pain around the eyes with ringing in the ear and pain in the frontal and nasal sinuses. If these symptoms get worse (face puffiness, muddled vision, etc.), a health practitioners should be consulted immediately.

Combinations of products suggested for individuals suffering from the following problems:
- People who are suffering from respiratory problems because of chronic allergies should combine Allergo and Aeris. Aeris will help improve the functions of the respiratory system. Together, these two products will help decrease the production of histamines and even the symptoms of allergens.
- People suffering from seasonal allergies may find it beneficial to combine Allergo and Immutonik. This combination is beneficial for the reinforcement of the immune system, because Immutonik supports the immune functions and helps prevent infections, while Allergo reduces the increased reaction of allergens by the immune system.
