What is allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis is a condition that predominantly affects the nose. It presents symptoms similar to that of a cold or hay fever, such as severe sneezing, blocked or runny nose, and irritation of the nasal passages, eyes and throat. Allergic rhinitis is defined by its cause. Non-allergic rhinitis can happen due to a virus such as the common cold or flu, whereas allergic rhinitis is caused by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet hair and mould.
For some people, coming into contact with these allergens causes an overactive immune response. Antihistamines and decongestants are the usual form of treatment for allergic rhinitis.
