**What is⁤ Allergic ⁤Rhinitis?**



**Question: What is allergic rhinitis?**



**Answer:** Allergic rhinitis, commonly known⁢ as hay fever,​ is⁣ a condition that causes inflammation of the nasal passages due to an allergic reaction. It occurs when the⁤ body’s immune system overreacts to certain allergens in the ‌air.



**Types of Allergens that ‍Trigger Allergic ⁣Rhinitis:**



* ⁢**Outdoor:** Pollen from trees, grasses,‍ and weeds

* **Indoor:** ⁣Dust mites, pet dander, mold ⁢spores



**Symptoms of ⁤Allergic Rhinitis:**



* Sneezing

*⁤ Runny nose (clear or white discharge)

* Itchy, runny, or puffy eyes

* Stuffy ⁤nose

* Nasal congestion

* Post-nasal drip

* Headache

* Fatigue



**Causes of Allergic Rhinitis:**



The exact cause of allergic rhinitis is unknown, but it is believed to result from a⁢ combination of genetic​ and environmental factors. Triggers that cause the allergic reaction include exposure to‌ certain allergens, such as:



* Pollen

* Dust mites

* Pet dander



**When to See a Doctor:**



If you experience persistent symptoms ‍of allergic rhinitis, it is important to ⁢see​ a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.



**Treatment Options for Allergic Rhinitis:**



* **Avoidance:** ​Limiting ⁤exposure to allergens can help reduce symptoms.

* **Nasal sprays:** Corticosteroids, antihistamines, or a combination of both can help ⁤reduce inflammation and congestion.

*‍ **Antihistamines:** Oral medications can block ‌the‌ effects of histamine, a chemical released‍ by ‍the body during an allergic reaction.

*⁤ **Leukotriene inhibitors:** These medications block the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation.

*‌ **Immunotherapy:** This involves​ gradually exposing⁤ the body to small amounts of the allergen to ‌build‍ tolerance.



**Prevention Tips for Allergic Rhinitis:**



* Keep windows and doors‌ closed during high pollen seasons.

* Use air conditioning or ‌a HEPA​ filter to remove allergens from ​indoor air.

* Vacuum and ⁣dust frequently.

* Wash bedding in‍ hot ⁣water weekly.

* Limit exposure to pets if you are ⁢allergic to pet ​dander.

* Take precautions when outdoors, such​ as wearing a‌ mask or taking ​an antihistamine before going outside.
