NASAL ALLERGY

NASAL ALLERGY

Nasal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, are a common condition that occurs when your immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. These allergens can include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and certain chemicals.

Symptoms of nasal allergies typically include:

Sneezing: Frequent bouts of sneezing, especially in response to exposure to allergens.
Runny or stuffy nose: Increased mucus production leading to a runny nose or congestion.
Itchy nose and throat: Persistent itching or irritation in the nasal passages and throat.
Watery or itchy eyes: Red, watery, or itchy eyes can accompany nasal symptoms.
Coughing: A dry or persistent cough may be present due to post-nasal drip.
Fatigue: Allergies can cause fatigue or sleep disturbances due to nasal congestion and other symptoms.

If your symptoms persist or significantly impact your quality of life, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional, such as an allergist or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist). They can provide a proper diagnosis, recommend appropriate treatment options, and help you manage your nasal allergies effectively.
