Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis in Children

There are a number of signs and symptoms that can indicate that your child may have allergic rhinitis. These include:

Sneezing: Sneezing is one of the most common symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It is caused by the body's reaction to an allergen such as pollen, dust, or mold.

Itchy, watery eyes: Allergens can cause your child's eyes to become itchy, watery, and red.

Runny nose: Allergens can cause a runny nose, which is a common symptom of allergic rhinitis.

Coughing: Allergens can trigger coughing in your child.

Wheezing: Wheezing is another symptom of allergic rhinitis. It is a whistling sound that occurs when your child breathes.

Nasal congestion: Allergens can cause your child's nose to become blocked or congested.

Fatigue: Allergens can cause your child to feel tired and lethargic.

Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergic reaction. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis can include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, nose, or throat, and watery eyes. In some cases, children may have a cough or wheeze as well. If your child is showing any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to have them seen by a doctor so they can be properly diagnosed and treated. Your doctor may perform a physical examination, blood tests, or skin tests to help determine if your child is suffering from allergic rhinitis.
