Allergic rhinitis is a medical condition that affects the sinuses and nasal passages. It is an allergic reaction to certain allergens such as dust mites, pollens, molds, and animal dander. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis include nasal congestion, a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, and a sore throat.

Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis

If you have allergic rhinitis, you may experience the following symptoms:

• Nasal congestion or a stuffy nose
• A runny nose
• Sneezing
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Itchy nose, mouth, or throat
• Postnasal drip
• Coughing
• Swollen or puffy eyes
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Fatigue

Diagnosis of Allergic Rhinitis

If you suspect you have allergic rhinitis, it is important to visit your doctor. Your doctor will examine you, ask questions about your symptoms, and may order allergy tests. Allergy tests can help diagnose the specific allergens that are causing your symptoms.

Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis

Treatment for allergic rhinitis usually includes avoiding the allergen that is causing your symptoms and taking medication. Medications such as antihistamines and decongestants can help relieve your symptoms. Your doctor may also prescribe nasal sprays or eye drops to help reduce inflammation. In some cases, immunotherapy may be recommended. Immunotherapy involves receiving shots that contain small amounts of the allergen. Over time, the shots can help your body become less sensitive to the allergen.

Allergic rhinitis is a condition caused by an allergic reaction, which can cause symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes, nose and throat, and sometimes a headache. If you experience any of these symptoms, especially if they occur in the spring or summer months, you should consult a doctor or allergist for testing. Skin and blood tests can help identify the specific allergens causing your reaction, allowing you to take appropriate steps to avoid them.

"I've been having a stuffy nose for a while, how do I know if I have allergic rhinitis?"

To determine if you have allergic rhinitis, you should consider if you are experiencing other symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, and a runny nose. Additionally, you should determine if these symptoms worsen in the presence of specific allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, or dust. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should visit your healthcare provider for an official diagnosis. They may suggest a skin prick test to identify any specific allergens that may be causing your symptoms.
