What is Allergic Rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis, often called hay fever, is a common condition where your immune system overreacts to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or mold. This triggers an inflammatory response in your nasal passages, leading to sneezing and other symptoms. Usually, the symptoms come on within minutes of coming into contact with the allergen.
Main Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis
Those suffering from allergic rhinitis can experience a range of symptoms with varying severity. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Sneezing: Frequent and often uncontrollable sneezing fits.
- Runny or Blocked Nose: A constantly runny nose or a feeling of congestion and stuffiness.
- Itchy, Watery Eyes: Irritated, red, and teary eyes.
- Itchy Throat and Palate: Persistent itchiness in the throat and roof of the mouth.
Main Triggers of Allergic Rhinitis
Some of the main triggers of allergic rhinitis include:
- Pollen: Especially during spring and summer months.
- Dust Mites: Tiny creatures that thrive in warm, humid environments.
- Pet Dander: Microscopic flakes of skin from animals.
- Mold Spores: These can be present indoors and outdoors, particularly in damp areas.
How to Manage Your Condition
There are a number of steps that you can take to help you manage your condition.
- Identify and Avoid Triggers: If possible, limit your exposure to the substances that trigger your allergies.
- Over-the-counter Medications: Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays can provide relief.
- Prescription Medications: If over-the-counter options don't work, we may be able to provide prescription medicines through our private service.
- Nasal Irrigation: Rinsing your nasal passages with saline solution can help clear out allergens and mucus.
