Sneezing fits, stuffy nose, watery eyes — you don't have to live like this
Allergic rhinitis is chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by environmental allergens such as dust mites, pollen, or pet dander.
It's one of the most common ENT conditions and, without proper management, deteriorates quality of life, sleep, and daily performance.
Typical manifestations
- Sneezing fits, especially upon waking.
- Persistent nasal congestion.
- Itching in the nose, eyes, or throat.
- Postnasal drip.
- Headache or facial heaviness.
- Non-restorative sleep due to night-time congestion.
Signs that warrant ENT evaluation
- Common antihistamines no longer work for you.
- Months of stuffy nose.
- Symptoms affect your sleep or work.
- Recurrent associated sinus infections.
- Your child always breathes through the mouth.
Treatment options
- Environmental managementIdentification and reduction of allergens at home and work.
- Personalized pharmacological treatmentAntihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, rinses — combined per your case.
- Coordinated immunotherapyIn selected cases, in coordination with allergology.
- Surgery when applicableTurbinoplasty or endoscopic surgery for cases with obstructive anatomy or associated chronic sinusitis.
Common questions
Can allergic rhinitis be cured?
It has no definitive cure but effective control that restores quality of life.
Do I need allergy testing?
When relevant for identifying the allergen and considering immunotherapy, yes. We coordinate with allergology.
Does rhinitis worsen sinusitis?
Yes. Chronic inflammation predisposes to infectious episodes and recurrent sinusitis.
