Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis
The little red runny noseā¦
Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) is not an easy disorder to live with. Though it may sound very benign to a non-sufferer, only the patient knows how nagging this condition is. Imagine a sudden episode of constant sneezing in the middle of (or just before the start of) an important meeting or assignment. It simply does not allow concentration to be focused on anything at all sometimes.
Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) can include any combination of the following symptoms:
Repetitive Sneezing
Runny nose (rhinorrhoea)
Nasal congestion
Itchy nose, ear, throat, eyes
Watery eyes
Reduced sense of smell
Post-nasal discharge
Chronic cases of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergy) may develop additional symptoms like:
Cough (due to the post nasal discharge)
Sinus headaches
Blocked ears
Nasal polyps
Eyelid swelling
Injected sclerae (redness of the white part of eyes)
