Allergic Rhinitis Symptoms

Allergic Rhinitis Symptoms

Pollen allergic rhinitis is a common disease. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis occur in nose, but can spread to the eyes, ears, sinuses and lungs. The most common symptoms are itchy nose, runny nose and sneezing. Sensitive individuals report nasal congestion as the most common symptom, although some tend to refer to runny nose or prolonged sneezing. In addition to nasal symptoms, inhalation of airborne allergens can cause symptoms of ocular conjunctivitis, such as itchy or watery eyes etc. Individuals may also complain of ear symptoms. Chronic allergic rhinitis can lead to respiratory problems, such as snoring, open-mouth breathing, increased sinus pressure, and throat itching, which can lead to persistent upper-palate pressure. Individuals with allergic rhinitis should be aware that repeated exposure to allergens often results in more severe reactions, longer lasting symptoms and long-term residual effects. For more information about symptoms and treatment, ask your doctor.

Protect Yourself

Protect Yourself

The outdoors is filled with a wide range of aeroallergens, including pollen from various plants and fungal spores. Individuals sensitive to pollen may experience symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. There are several strategies to mitigate these impacts, depending on the measures taken in living spaces and personal lifestyle choices, including outdoor activities. On days with high pollen counts, try to minimize time spent outdoors, especially during peak pollen hours. Another reliable method is to wear a protective mask, which helps filter out allergens and prevents them from entering the respiratory system.

Protect your Living Place

Protect your Living Place

There are several effective ways to protect your home from pollen. Typically, these protective measures are installed in vents or windows to ensure proper ventilation while minimizing the influx of allergens and enhancing indoor air quality during pollen season. For instance, vents equipped with replaceable pollen filters that capture airborne pollen while allowing fresh air to circulate throughout your home and ensuring a fresh and clean indoor environment. You can also choose modern ventilation systems specifically designed to filter out both pollen and outdoor dust. Additionally, consider installing windows with anti-allergic air vents. These vents feature specially designed anti-allergy screens certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF). They effectively blocs pollen and provide a reliable barrier against unwanted outdoor allergens. Screens certified by ECARF boast an impressive efficiency rate of up to 90% and can be easily mounted in your windows.

Allergy Treatment

Allergic rhinitis caused by pollen allergens affects up to 25% of Europeans, making it a widespread health concern. This condition can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, highlighting the importance of seeking professional guidance from specialists who understand the complexities of allergies. Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis and a well-structured personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual’s unique needs. 

Allergists play a crucial role in helping patients manage their conditions, offering education about their health and emphasising the importance of minimising allergen exposure in their environment. A comprehensive approach to managing and preventing allergic respiratory diseases includes patient education, allergen avoidance, medication, and allergen-specific immunotherapy. By understanding their condition and taking proactive measures, patients can take control of their allergies more effectively.

Today, the treatment of allergic rhinitis typically involves a combination of short-acting and long-acting medications aimed at relieving or eliminating symptoms. Common treatment options include antihistamines, glucocorticoids, and anti-leukotrienes, among others.  While medications are highly effective, they work best when combined with environmental adjustments to limit allergen exposure.  For optimal results, individuals with allergic rhinitis are advised to consult an allergist who can develop a personalised treatment plan. This approach ensures that treatment addresses specific symptoms and aligns with the patient’s lifestyle, providing a more effective and sustainable way to manage allergies.
