text_1: Blocked ears, runny nose and dry throat symptoms of hayfever or common cold?
text_2: I have blocked ears, runny nose, dry throat for last 3 days. I was told it could be hayfever but I don't have sneezing, watery eyes. There has been flu going around at my school and I think I may have common cold. I have a singing competition in next 2 days and I want this to subside by then. How long will it take?
