ALLERGIC RHINITIS
Allergic rhinitis, or allergic rhinitis as it is medically known, is a disease mediated by the body’s defense system, characterized by sneezing, nasal itching, nasal congestion and runny nose. Allergic rhinitis is more commonly known as hay fever. This is not entirely true; Because the term hay fever actually refers to an allergic condition only to meadow, grass and weed pollens. In contrast, allergic rhinitis can be triggered by other agents other than pollens, such as pet dander, house dust mites or molds. The disease is common in all age groups. It usually begins in childhood and continues throughout life.
