When Nasal Allergies Strike

If you have nasal allergies (also called allergic rhinitis), you're not alone: Allergies are incredibly common. If your allergies bother you only at certain times of year, like in the spring when the trees begin to bloom, you have "hay fever," or seasonal nasal allergies. If your allergies seem to be with you all year long, you have perennial nasal allergies. In either case, you'll be happy to know that you don't have to suffer in silence. You and your doctor can develop a plan to keep your allergies under control.

How You May Feel

If you have nasal allergies, you're probably familiar with many of the following symptoms: sneezing; itchy nose, eyes, ears, and throat; clear, runny nasal discharge; stuffed-up nose; and red, watery eyes. You may not have realized, though, that nasal allergies can also cause sore throats, coughing, tiredness, stomachaches, headaches, and tenderness in your cheeks and forehead. These symptoms may be a minor irritation, or they may disrupt your life. Nasal allergies can cause you to lose sleep, drain your energy, and make it hard for you to concentrate on your work. Your doctor will consider your symptoms when deciding how best to treat your nasal allergies.
