On/off colds?

So its April and since january i've have about 2 colds per month. Some last a couple of days, others last a week.

Last fortnight i had a bad one that lasted a week- runny/blocked nose, sore throat, headache, feeling hit, lathargic....no energy at all. But i also had a bad UTI with it that they thought may be a kidney infection. I was given antibiotics and was fine for a week.

Now i have a runny nose, sore throat, no energy, feel all bloated and have a headache. Had this for nearly a week. I thought it was hayfever so i've been taking some meds but they havn't helped. I dont have dust allergies and no mold in the house. I've not got any other allergies other than penicillin.

What is this?

I'm taking Vitamin C and Zinc, drinking plenty of fluids but im fed up of feeling like this, especially when i have to drag myself to work!
 
It could be pollen from outside. IT is he worst pollen season that has been for years. Even people who don't normally suffer from it are having a bad time. Have your tried taking an antihistamine to dry up the drainage?
