Allergic reacton or sudden cold?

[fluffacloud]

So I was minding my own business, enjoying my dinner, when I had a huge coughing fit.

Since said fit - my chest is tight, my nose is blocked, my eyes are watering and I've sneezed 9 times in the last 5 minutes.

Can a cold manifest itself in the space of a few moments or have I eaten something that hasn't agreed with me?

Thanks

A flu as opposed to a cold can come on very quickly. How are you feeling now?

A possible reaction to something.

My thanks to you both.

I'm feeling a bit crappy but not ill IYSWIM?

Fingers crossed that it was just one of those things!
