Allergic rhinitis is generally caused by exposure to allergens.

Clinically, the most common allergens are mainly pollen and dust mites.

Once the condition flares up, symptoms such as repeated sneezing, itchy nose, runny nose, and nasal congestion may occur.

If the condition often flares up in a particular season, preventive medications can usually be used in advance, such as Flonase nasal spray and Montelukast sodium.

Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition, severity, and individual health factors. They may include medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms, rapid worsening of condition, or if self-care measures aren't providing relief within a reasonable timeframe.
