What is Rhinitis?
Rhinitis is a medical condition which is characterised by irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose. This can be caused by viruses, bacteria, irritants or allergens.
The inflammation results in the generation of large amounts of mucus, which results in a stuffy nose, runny nose, and post-nasal drip. In the case of allergic rhinitis, the inflammation is caused by the degranulation of mast cells in the nose. Allergic rhinitis is usually triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen molds, dust mites, animal hair, industrial chemicals foods, medicines, and insect venom.
The other types of Rhinitis are Seasonal allergic rhinitis or hayfever (occurs in late summer or spring), Perennial allergic rhinitis (occurs year-round) and Non-Allergic Rhinitis
