Dr. Jack Eades with Southern Allergy & Asthma in Savannah explains the difference in select coughs.We discussed coughs brought on by allergies and coughs brought on by the Coronavirus.The purpose of WJCL interviewing Dr. Eades is due to something we’ve noticed, since being in the pandemic. Most times anyone does a symptom of COVID-19, cough for example…it usually brings about funny looks from others who are around.”It’s been a ferocious season.”- Dr. Eades. That’s what he had to say when referring to this year’s pollen season, which is happening now.He says when it comes to knowing the differences in a COVID cough and an allergy cough there’s a few things to keep in mind.”If you have a fever, that’s not going to be an allergic disease, most likely.”- says Dr. Eades.He compared this to a COVID cough.”COVID 19 is obviously a viral infection so people don’t get fever with inhalant allergies. So pollen allergy doesn’t get you a fever. That’s your main differentiating point.”- says Dr. Eades.He also says if you believe you have symptoms of allergies or symptoms of COVID-19, you should seek professional medical attention and get tested.
