Allergic rhinitis that is known as the nasal allergy in the lay man language is also referred to as the hay fever since such nasal allergy is usually experienced in the haying season. It usually affects the sensitive or the weak immune system. This allergy may occur because of the several symptoms that may be commonly seen in the eyes and the nose after the body’s exposure to pollens, dander and dust. The triggers of such allergies may be airborne such as the pollens, dander, dust, smoke, etc. Of these, the most primary cause of rhinitis in humans is pollens.

Specialists regard treatment as the best prevention. If in case you have already acquired the disease then you can get some medications that may be helpful. One such medication is Antihistamines.
