Allergic Rhinitis

This description of allergic rhinitis is well done and provides an accessible description of how nasal allergies work and how symptoms are caused. It's important to be aware of how nasal allergies work, because it's more than just an annoyance or an inconvenience. Allergic Rhinitis can worsen asthma, lead to sinus infections, and also potentially lead to nasal polyps. All of which can complicate breathing and, if untreated, can become serious health risks.Allergic Rhinitis is  the body's reaction to a variety of possible irritants. Most of these irritants are normally harmless. When Allergic Rhinitis is untreated the body's natural reaction to these irritants can cause other problems. Inflammation in the nasal sinuses can interfere with mucous drainage and lead to the festering of bacteria, which can lead to a sinus infection.
