Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory condition of the nasal passages caused by an allergic reaction to environmental allergens. Common allergens that cause allergic rhinitis include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
Vasomotor rhinitis, on the other hand, is a condition in which the nasal passages become inflamed due to a reaction to irritants such as smoke, strong odors, and changes in temperature or humidity. Symptoms of vasomotor rhinitis include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
