Bloated whilst having a cold?

For the past few days ive been really bloated, started about the same time i contracted this horrendous cold. Could it be from not drinking enough? I read somewhere that bloating can be caused by the body retaining as much water as possible because im dehydrated and coupled with this cold i have i probably havent been drinking as much as i could be.
Any ideas? Anything else i can try? I havent changed my diet or anything although i suppose i may have over eaten a tiny bit over the weekend
