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.

Causes of Allergic Rhinitis

Triggered by an allergic immune response to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander, which cause the release of histamine in the nasal passages. A family history of allergies, asthma, or eczema significantly increases susceptibility, and exposure to environmental pollutants can worsen symptom severity.

Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis

Sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, itchy nose, throat, or ears, postnasal drip, fatigue from disrupted sleep, reduced sense of smell, dark circles under the eyes
