📖What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic Rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is an inflammatory condition of the nasal passages triggered by an allergic reaction to airborne substances such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. When these allergens are inhaled, the immune system overreacts, releasing histamine and other chemicals that cause inflammation and irritation of the nasal lining. Symptoms can be seasonal, tied to specific pollen seasons, or perennial, occurring year-round due to indoor allergens. While not dangerous, the condition can significantly affect sleep, concentration, and overall quality of life.
