The particles drain down your throat instead of going into your lungs. This happens every day. Normally the mucus is thin and there isn\u2019t much of it, so you don\u2019t even realize it\u2019s happening. When you catch a cold, your nose produces thick mucus, so you need to blow your nose. This can irritate your nasal passages and throat, and cause coughing. When you have allergies, your body creates a histamine response to your triggers. This can cause allergy symptoms, as your nose produces an excess of thin, watery mucus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illnesses and allergies can both cause rhinitis, but the time frame differs. Rhinitis from a cold is temporary, clearing up in a few days or a week. People with allergies may have chronic rhinitis lasting weeks or months at a time. Chronic rhinitis can even be present year-round if your allergy triggers are not seasonal.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image243219_b1e6d4-a6 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure

Are you spending a lot of time outdoors? You may be allergic to pollen or mold. Are you living with a pet? It could be animal dander. Do you wake up at night or in the morning with an itchy nose and eyes? Likely dust mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may recommend an allergy skin prick or blood test. A positive test reveals sensitivity to a particular allergen. Diagnosis occurs when the history of symptoms matches the allergy test result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to treat rhinitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no cure for rhinitis. Managing symptoms and avoiding triggers is the best way to keep rhinitis under control. Figuring out what triggers your rhinitis and avoiding them is the first step. They may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>smoke from tobacco or wood fires<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>perfumes, hair spray, or other strong scents (you may need to talk to family, friends, and coworkers if they use products that trigger rhinitis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>scented cleaning agents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If avoidance isn\u2019t enough and symptoms arise, you can manage them with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>nasal irrigation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>nasal sprays, either OTC or prescription<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>correction of nasal polyps or deviated septum to improve breathing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifestyle management strategies include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>keep windows and doors closed to keep pollen out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>limit outdoor activities when pollen levels are high \u2014 usually in the morning through late afternoon; if you must go outside, consider wearing a face mask<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>clean or replace the filters in your home once a month, especially during your allergy season<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>change clothes and remove shoes immediately after being outside to prevent pollen from spreading indoors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bathe before going to bed to remove pollen from your body; be sure to wash your hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#025d86;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column243219_12dbc2-9c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3a15f73ed5cbaae38c2a8070d3a6ab6a\">IMPORTANT NOTE: Decongestants are not meant for long-term use.

Irritants like smoke, perfume and cleaners can trigger symptoms as well. You may be more sensitive to inhaled irritants when your nasal passages are inflamed from rhinitis. If you also have asthma, allergic rhinitis may worsen respiratory symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergic rhinitis doesn\u2019t apply just to seasonal allergies, though. Allergies to indoor mold, pet dander, dust or dust mites can trigger symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Are hay fever and allergic rhinitis the same thing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergic rhinitis is often called \u201chay fever,\u201d but there\u2019s no connection to hay, and there\u2019s no fever. Hay fever is more of a blanket term for seasonal allergies that stem from pollen in the air. These are also called nasal allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the symptoms of allergic rhinitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms that may occur soon after exposure to an allergen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>runny nose with clear or pale-colored mucus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sneezing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>red, watery eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>itching around the nose, mouth or eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Untreated allergic rhinitis symptoms can lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>nasal congestion (swelling of nasal passages)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>postnasal drip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>coughing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lower respiratory problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sore throat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>decreased sense of smell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ear or sinus infection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>puffiness or dark circles under the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fever is not a symptom of allergic (or any) rhinitis. See your doctor to check the cause of a fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to treat allergic rhinitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Medications are usually prescribed to treat allergic rhinitis. Antihistamines help stop your body from making histamine, reducing symptoms. Decongestants reduce congestion, but it\u2019s not recommended to use them longer than three days. Corticosteroid nasal sprays help control inflammation. Eye drops and saline nasal sprays can help relieve eye allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always check with your doctor about allergy medications. Find out if any allergy medications will not interfere with any other medicine you may take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speak to your doctor if your symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>are severe and don\u2019t respond to any method of home treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>prevent you from enjoying daily life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to consider allergen immunotherapy. Immunotherapy will decrease your response to allergens over time. There are two forms of immunotherapy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>allergy shots<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>under-the-tongue allergy tablets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternative remedies may be helpful. These include acupuncture, herbal remedies and probiotics. Always talk to a healthcare professional before using alternative therapies. These remedies are not FDA-approved for allergic rhinitis or evaluated for efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image243219_de41b0-47 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image243219_de41b0-47 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Woman-with-red-nose-from-allergies-1080x648.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with blonde hair holds a tissue and medicine bottle, suggesting she might be battling allergies.

This is called nonallergic rhinitis. It\u2019s sometimes referred to as vasomotor rhinitis. Nonallergic rhinitis affects adults year-round. Symptoms include:<br>\u2013 congestion<br>\u2013 postnasal drip<br>\u2013 sneezing<br>\u2013 runny nose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The immune system is not involved with nonallergic rhinitis. Instead, symptoms are caused by irritants such as:<br>\u2013 smoke<br>\u2013 air pollution<br>\u2013 strong odors from perfume, cosmetics, or laundry detergents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are not allergens but they may cause allergy-like symptoms that contribute to an allergic rhinitis flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnosis comes after ruling out every other cause of symptoms. Many factors can trigger nonallergic rhinitis, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental factors:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>car exhaust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smoke from a fire or tobacco<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wood dust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>paint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chemical solvents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal and home products:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>perfume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cosmetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>hair spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>latex<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>glues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleaning products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>laundry detergents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image243219_34e709-8f .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image243219_34e709-8f size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Asian-woman-with-allergies-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"A person with long dark hair pinching the bridge of their nose, eyes closed, as if experiencing discomfort or a headache, against a plain white background.\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-19377751\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Asian-woman-with-allergies-1080x567.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Asian-woman-with-allergies-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Asian-woman-with-allergies-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Asian-woman-with-allergies.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Food can cause symptoms, especially spicy cuisines.

Pregnancy rhinitis is common. It happens when a pregnant woman has congestion or a runny nose without having an illness or allergies. Researchers believe hormones play a role and affect nasal passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy hormones that can cause increased blood flow and mucus production include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>estrogen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>progesterone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>placental growth hormone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More blood and mucus leads to pregnancy rhinitis by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>swelling nasal passages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>irritating the nose and ears<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>causing congestion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does pregnancy rhinitis start?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy rhinitis can start at any point during pregnancy but it seems to happen most often during the second trimester. Some women experience it for a few days, while some seem to have it throughout pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy rhinitis doesn\u2019t pose a risk to you or your baby, though it can disrupt sleep and make you feel lousy. It sometimes causes ear infections or sinusitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re pregnant and you have asthma, it\u2019s important to monitor your asthma symptoms as they can worsen. Discuss any changes in your symptoms with your doctor. Make sure you follow all instructions about medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways to ease symptoms if pregnancy rhinitis affects your quality of life. You can ease symptoms by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>using humidifiers in the home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>drinking plenty of liquids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>avoiding irritants, like smoke, perfume, or pollution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>exercising will decrease congestion and improve sleep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>elevating your head to drain mucus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>using saline sprays or nasal irrigation \u2014 but always check with your doctor first<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#025d86;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column243219_56a730-f5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column243219_56a730-f5\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-50c6611e9e2a7075e176a8756240188f\">Nasal decongestants should not be used in the first trimester of pregnancy. Nasal decongestants would only be used sparingly and under a doctor\u2019s advice in the later months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does pregnancy rhinitis last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all pregnancy symptoms, pregnancy rhinitis is unique to each person.
