Why do my allergies get worse when it rains out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonallergic sinus?: Good afternoon, symptoms of allergies have a tendency to get better after a rain. When symptoms get worse with rain, it usually indicates sensitivity to high humidity. This is nonallergic sinus congestion. Allergy tests are usually negative in this situation. Decongestants arr usually helpful to relieve symptoms.
