Nasal Allergies
Alternate Names : Allergic Rhinitis, Allergic Rhinosinusitis, Hay Fever
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
The symptoms of a nasal allergy are:
clear, watery nasal discharge
coughing
itching deep within the ear
itching, watering, and redness of the eyes
nasal itching
nasal stuffiness with subsequent difficulty breathing
sneezing
Late-phase reactions are very similar. The individual who has chronic allergy
exposure may start to see other symptoms, such as:
more constant nasal stuffiness
reduced sense of smell
sinus headaches,
usually in the forehead, cheek, and between the eyes
a thicker, clear-to-white mucus secretion
An individual with chronic allergies may also start to be affected by
nonallergic stimuli. These can include dry air, cold air, smoke, and particles in
the air.
