What is allergic rhinitis?
Commonly known as “hay fever,” allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal passages caused by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander and mold.
How do you know if you have it?
Symptoms usually involve a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, nasal congestion and even a sore throat at times.
Symptoms can be intermittent (less than 4 days/week) or persistent (more than 4 days/week)
Quick facts
