Environmental Allergies/Allergic rhinitis

Allergens in the environment, such as pollens, animal dander, dust mites, molds, can cause itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Not everyone is allergic to these triggers, but in those who are, symptoms can be quite bothersome and disruptive. They can also worsen a child or adult’s asthma symptoms.

There are several treatment options including avoidance measures, symptomatic treatment with antihistamines and nasal sprays, and allergen immunotherapy (or desensitization).

Speak to your doctor and local allergist for treatment of your or your child’s symptoms.
