What is Allergic Rhinitis?
As the name suggests it is an allergy to certain allergens found in the atmosphere. It is also known as Pollinosis or Hay fever.
People having low immunity level are prone to this condition. Dust, fungus/mould, smoke, pollens, cloth fibers, pet hairs are some of the triggering factors.
Around the world about 30-40% of the population are suffering with Allergic Rhinitis.
How Allergic Rhinitis develops
Our body has defensive bodies such as Antibodies. IgE antibodies attack the allergens and thus release chemical known as Histamine and this chemical in turn causes Allergic Rhinitis which may have symptoms like runny nose, redness of eyes, itching of eyes, and frequent sneezing with associated headaches.
