Allergic Rhinitis

Overview:-
Allergic rhinitis is a collection of symptoms, mostly in the nose and eyes, which occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to, such as dust, dander, or pollen.

Dr Abraham states that Allergic rhinitis can be an early indication of Asthma. Invariably ninety nine percent of patients who suffer from rhinitis will develop Bronchial Asthma later in their life.

Causes:-

An allegen is something that triggers an allergy. When a person with allergic rhinitis breathes in an allergen such as pollen or dust, the bordy releases chemicals, including histamine. This causes allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and mucus production.
Some disorders may be associated with allergies. These include eczema and asthma.

Symptoms:-

Symptoms that occur shortly after you come into contact with the substance you are allergic to may include:

• Itchy nose, mouth, eyes, throat, skin, or any area
• Problems with smell
• Runny nose
• Sneezing
• Tearing eyes

Symptoms that may develop later include:-

• Stuffy nose (nasal congestion)
• Coughing
• Clogged ears and decreased sense of smell
• Sore throat
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Puffiness under the eyes
• Fatigue and irritability
