WHAT IS SEASONAL ALLERGIC RHINITIS?
Seasonal allergic rhinitis or "hay fever" is characterized by a number of symptoms, such as sneezing, rhinorrhea (runny nose), nasal congestion, and may also include nasal itching, mucus/glucous in the throat, or temporary disturbance of the sense of smell. The eyes may also be affected.
There are several factors that can help distinguish allergic rhinitis from the common cold:
1- allergic rhinitis is often triggered by exposure to specific allergens such as pollen.
2- it may be accompanied by ocular symptoms, and is often observed in people with a family history of allergies. Unlike the common cold, symptoms are bilateral and the nasal discharge is clear and watery.
Allergic rhinitis is not accompanied by pain, complete loss of smell (anosmia) or nosebleeds (epistaxis). It generally occurs at the same time every year, when the air is rich in pollen. :
