Hello everyone! I'm new here and wanted to see if anyone has any information about when allergic rhinitis starts. I recently found out that I have it, and I'm wondering what age is typical for the condition to begin. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know what age does allergic rhinitis typically start? Are there any signs or symptoms that I should look out for? I'm starting to worry about my health, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
