Differentiating between a cold and an allergic reaction to crested wheatgrass, or any allergen for that matter, can be confusing given that the symptoms can overlap. However, there are specific signs that one can look for.
When you have a cold, it's common to experience symptoms that affect your entire body such as fatigue, body aches and sometimes fever. In contrast, allergies tend to have more targeted symptoms confined to the respiratory system- nose, lungs, and eyes. For example, a reaction against crested wheatgrass could cause sniffling, sneezing, itchy or water eyes, coughing, or wheezing, but it's unlikely to cause full-body tiredness or aches.
Duration of symptoms also varies significantly between the two. Cold symptoms typically last about a week to ten days and then gradually subside. Allergy symptoms, on the other hand, can last for weeks or even months if you continue to be exposed to the allergen.
The presence of itchiness, as in itchy eyes, ears, or throat, generally points to an allergy rather than a cold. The same goes for localized redness and swelling of the tissues around the eyes or in the nasal passages, which are common in allergies but not in colds.
The season or timing of the symptoms may also offer clues. Colds are more common in winter months, while allergic reactions like in case of exposure to crested wheatgrass could occur at any point throughout the year and will often coincide with periods of exposure to the allergen.
One important tip would be to pay attention to the color of your nasal discharge. In a cold, the nasal discharge often starts out watery but can turn thick and yellow or green after a few days. In an allergy, the discharge is typically thin and clear regardless of the duration of the symptoms.
If symptoms persist or are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. Over-the-counter allergy medication may help alleviate symptoms if an allergy is suspected. However, these medications are not appropriate for everyone, and a healthcare provider can recommend the best treatment plan for your individual situation.
It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.
Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.
Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.
Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
