Allergic rhinitis
Treatment
Treatment for allergic rhinitis depends on how severe your symptoms are and how much they're affecting your everyday activities.
Common allergies that cause allergic rhinitis include hay fever and allergies to mould, house dust mites and animals.
You can ease symptoms of allergic rhinitis with antihistamines and rinsing your nose with salt water. A GP can prescribe a steroid nasal spray.
Allergic rhinitis is where an allergy to something like pollen, dust or mould irritates your nose and causes cold-like symptoms.
