Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis
The disease is characterized by nasal itching, paroxysmal sneezing, clear watery nasal discharge, and nasal congestion. The main manifestations and severity of different types of allergic rhinitis patients are different.
Symptoms of seasonal allergen allergy patients often last for several weeks. Once the season is over, the symptoms are relieved and the patients are cured without treatment, and the symptoms recur in the same season of the following year; while those who are allergic to perennial allergens have intermittent or continuous attacks, and the season and time of the attacks are uncertain. The attack often occurs when they are cleaning the room, tidying up bedding or clothing, contacting pets, and smelling mold.
Clinically, most patients have moderate-severe persistent allergic rhinitis, which may be related to the severe symptoms and strong desire to seek medical treatment in these patients.
Typical Symptoms
Nasal itching: Most patients have nasal itching, sometimes accompanied by itchy soft palate, eyes, and pharynx.
Paroxysmal sneezing: There are often multiple paroxysmal sneezing attacks every day, ranging from three to five at a time, and as many as a dozen or even more.
