Allergic Rhinitis Allergic rhinitis: Is a reaction to airborne (inhaled) allergens. Depending on the allergen, the resulting rhinitis and conjunctivitis may be seasonal such as hay fever or occurring year round (perennial allergic rhinitis). This disorder commonly affects young children and adolescents but can affect all age groups. Seasonal pollen allergy may exacerbate symptoms of perennial rhinitis. Cause: Hay fever results from wind borne pollens such as grass. and weeds as well as from mold (fungal spores) in the summer and fall perennial allergic rhinitis results from house dust, feather pillows, cigarette smoke, animal dander, and upholstery Symptoms: Hay fever: sneezing, profuse watery rhinorrhea, and nasal obstruction or congestion. Nose and eyes may itch Nasal mucosa may appear pale cyanotic and edematous Eyelids and conjunctivae may appear red and edematous Headache or sinus pain, dark circles under the eyes (allergic shiners) May experience itchy throat, malaise, and fever Perennial allergic rhinitis: chronic nasal obstruction often extending to eustachian tube obstruction, particularly in children, and dark circles under the eyes

Also she took steroids given from her doctor, and she said when she is eating steroids she is feeling a pain in head but after she took your pills the pain went away. She can walk better now and is doing some exercises and is recovering slowly. But she still can't go by stairs as muscles are still weak. Now she doesn't have anything swollen anymore and the skin is much better. What could she do next as the pills are all eaten.

Hay fever, otherwise known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to airborne substances such as pollen that get into the upper respiratory passages - the nose, sinus, throat - and also the eyes. What's in a name? The name hay fever is misleading because symptoms don't just occur in autumn when hay is gathered and never include fever. Hay fever is the most common of all the allergic diseases - about 15 per cent of the population in industrialised countries suffer from this condition. Symptoms usually appear in childhood first and then lessen by the age of 30 or 40. Perennial allergic rhinitis is a similar allergy that occurs all year round and is caused by things such as house dust mites and pets . However the predominant allergen changes from time to time. Why do you get hay fever?

General Practice Airways Group GPIAG Opinion Sheet No. 6 June 1999 Rhinitis Rhinitis is a common disorder, that has the potential to cause significant morbidity, impairing quality of life, and work/school performance. It is also responsible for considerable costs to the econovmy through treatment expenditure, and revenue lost through absence from work. Nasal problems will often hae co-morbid effects on the sinuses, throat, middle-ear, and lower respiratory tract. Rhinitis frequently co-exists with asthma, and there is evidence to suggest that untreated rhinitis may influence the development and control of asthma. Despite these observations, there is a common misconception that rhinitis is an unimportant condition, and as a result is frequently trivialised by patients and their doctors. Definition Rhinitis is a clinical diagnosis, made on the basis of recognising a symptom complex of two or more of the following: lasting for more than 1 hour on most days.

56. Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever) Information about allergic rhinitis including the causes and different treatment options. http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~uoshc/allergicrhinitis.html

University of Oregon HEALTH CENTER Allergy Clinic ALLERGIC RHINITIS ( HAY FEVER ) Symptoms of allergic rhinitis (Hay Fever) include itchy, runny, sneezy, or stuffy noses, and itchy eyes. Allergic rhinitis is a common illness affecting an estimated 20-40 million Americans, and resulting in 10 million lost days of school or work each year. Often caused by pollens from trees, grass or weeds, it is most commonly known as hay fever. Hay fever subsides with the onset of cold weather. Perennial allergic rhinitis, however, occurs year around and is caused by indoor allergens such as dust, mite, mold spores, and animal dander. What Causes Allergic Rhinitis? Chemical substances, such as histamine, are normally stored in mast cells in tissues of the body, including the nose and eyes. The allergic person forms antibodies against pollens and other allergens. These antibodies attach themselves to the mast cells, and when combined with the allergen the result is the release of histamine and other chemical substances from the mast cells. These chemical substances cause the allergic responses of itching, sneezing, congestion, and dripping. Treatment: Avoidance is the best treatment for any allergy whenever possible. Keeping doors and windows closed in the home and in your car and avoiding vigorous outside activity will help to lessen your exposure during times when the pollen count is high. Removing pets from the home and dust and mold control measures can significantly relieve symptoms due to perennial allergens.
