These symptoms sound much more like seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis, commonly called "hay fever") than a cold. Here's why:

The pattern you're describing — happening every spring, with a runny nose, itchy eyes, itchy throat, and sneezing — is the classic presentation of seasonal allergies.

What points toward allergies, not a cold

• It happens every spring, which aligns with pollen seasons (tree pollen peaks in spring)
• Itchiness — of the eyes and throat especially — is a hallmark of allergic reactions, not viral infections
• No fever, which is more common with colds
• Colds typically resolve in 7–10 days; if your symptoms last weeks, that strongly points to allergies

How they differ from a cold

• Colds often come with body aches, fatigue, and sometimes a sore throat (rather than an itchy one)
• Cold symptoms tend to evolve over days (getting worse, then better); allergy symptoms stay consistent while you're exposed to the trigger
• Colds are caused by a virus; allergies are your immune system reacting to pollen or other airborne triggers

What you might consider

• Over-the-counter antihistamines (like cetirizine or loratadine) and nasal corticosteroid sprays are often very effective for seasonal allergy symptoms
• Tracking when your symptoms start and stop each year can help confirm the pattern
• If symptoms are significantly affecting your quality of life, an allergist can do skin or blood testing to identify your specific triggers and discuss options like immunotherapy

That said, I'm not a doctor, and it's worth mentioning this pattern to your physician — especially if you haven't already — so they can confirm the diagnosis and recommend the best treatment for you.
