HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
IF the symptoms are acute and not recurrent (happen every now and then repeatedly), then it is likely a cold.
If you have a history of occasional episodes of these symptoms occurring then allergies are most likely.
The use of over the counter cough and cold medications used for nasal congestion along with an antihistamine (can normally be found combined), would help.
I hope this helps
