Calm Allergy-Related Nasal Symptoms
Targeted care for nasal inflammation caused by allergies and environmental triggers.
When Allergies Trigger Nasal Inflammation
Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, occurs when the immune system reacts to airborne allergens. Exposure to a trigger causes the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances, leading to sneezing, an itchy or runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
Seasonal and Year-Round Allergies
Seasonal allergic rhinitis results from outdoor allergens such as grass, tree, and weed pollen, with symptoms occurring during specific pollen seasons. Perennial allergic rhinitis is caused by indoor allergens that are present throughout the year, including dust mites, pet dander, mold, and cockroaches.
Effects on Your Sinuses and Ears
Allergic rhinitis can contribute to chronic sinusitis, recurring sinus infections, nasal polyps, and Eustachian tube dysfunction. Managing the underlying allergies is often an important part of treating these related conditions.
