About "allergic rhinitis"

Allergic rhinitis, or otherwise called hay fever, is an allergic response to a specific allergen, which causes a runny and stuffy nose. The other symptoms include sneezing, itchy nose, watery eyes, cough, sore throat, headaches, skin rashes, and fatigue. Pollen, dust mites, animal dander, cat saliva, and mold are some of the common allergens that cause allergic rhinitis. The two types of allergic rhinitis are:

1. Seasonal – Here allergic reaction results from outdoor allergens like pollen, and it usually occurs in spring and fall season.
2. Perennial – This type of allergic reaction occurs around the year, and is usually caused by indoor allergens like dust mites.

Antihistamines and decongestants are used in its treatment.
