What Is Allergic Rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis, often called hay fever, is an allergic reaction that affects the nose and sinuses. It happens when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. This reaction can cause many symptoms, many of which can affect sleep, work, and overall quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis
-
Sneezing fits, especially after allergen exposure
-
Stuffy or runny nose
-
Itchy, watery eyes
-
Postnasal drip or throat clearing
-
Fatigue from poor sleep
-
Headaches or sinus pressure
If left untreated, allergic rhinitis may also worsen asthma symptoms and increase the risk of sinus infections.
