Rhinitis

RHINITIS

Allergic rhinitis is the inflammation (redness and swelling) of the inside of the nose.

It's caused by an allergen, such as pollen, dust, mould, or flakes of skin from certain animals and is a very common condition.

 

For most people it's easy to treat with medicines.

Symptoms of allergic rhinitis commonly include nasal congestion, itching of the nose, dark circles under the eyes, and watery eyes. During times of increased pollen levels, seasonal allergies can be especially bothersome.

A physical exam is typically used to diagnose allergic rhinitis. Tests to determine the allergen causing the reaction can also be done. 

Common symptoms of allergic rhinitis are similar to a cold and include:

  • Sneezing

  • An itchy nose

  • A runny or blocked nose

  • Itchy, red and watery eyes

  • A cough

  • The roof of your mouth being itchy

This usually happens within minutes of coming into contact with something you're allergic to.
