What are the causes and treatments for allergic rhinitis?
Asked by Male, 26 · 30 days ago
Allergic rhinitis is caused by an allergy to things like dust, pollen, smoke, pet hair, or mold, which leads to sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, and itching. Treatment focuses on avoiding triggers, keeping the surroundings clean, and using anti-allergy medicines or nasal sprays as prescribed by a doctor. In long-term or severe cases, allergy testing and immunotherapy (allergy shots) can help reduce symptoms and provide lasting relief.
