Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is a condition triggered by allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold.
It causes symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and a scratchy throat. These reactions occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances in the air.
Though not life-threatening, allergic rhinitis can significantly impact your quality of life. If untreated, it can lead to fatigue, sinus infections, and difficulty sleeping.
Effective treatments include antihistamines, nasal sprays, and lifestyle changes like avoiding known triggers.
Allergic rhinitis is triggered by various allergens that cause your immune system to overreact. Common triggers include:
Pollen: Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen into the air, especially during spring and fall. This is one of the most common triggers.
Dust Mites: Tiny insects found in household dust can provoke symptoms.
Pet Dander: Proteins found in the skin, saliva, and urine of pets like cats and dogs can cause allergic reactions.
Mold: Mold spores in damp environments, such as bathrooms or basements, can be a trigger.
Smoke & Pollution: Airborne irritants, such as to***co smoke and industrial pollution, may also worsen symptoms.
Identifying and avoiding these triggers can help manage allergic rhinitis.
