Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction that occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air, such as pollen, dust, or pet dander. Symptoms include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and itchy eyes, nose, or throat. Management involves avoiding triggers, using antihistamines, and sometimes receiving allergy shots for long-term relief.
Seasonal allergies can make the outdoors feel off-limits, but relief is possible. From recognizing triggers to exploring treatment options and knowing when to seek expert care, you can take steps to control symptoms. For personalized solutions, please contact Naugatuck Valley ENT at (203) 578-4630 and get back to enjoying fresh air.
