Allergic Rhinitis: It is basically inflammation of the nasal passages due to the aeroallergens caused by indoor or outdoor pollens. Trees, grasses, weeds, mold, cats, dogs, dust mites, cockroaches, etc... Many treatment options. Allergy shots are best but topical medications can also be equally effective. See an allergist for testing.
