A member asked:

If you have an allergy to pets, and you are away from them for 3 days, would stuffy nose and congestion still be caused by allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: The pet dander can remain on your clothes and in your hair and continue to cause issues even away from the pets.
