[Health Consumer] The change of seasons is a time when various health problems occur due to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. In particular, allergic rhinitis is one of the most common diseases that appear during seasonal transitions. Pollen, fine dust, and house dust mites floating in the air are the main causes of allergies.
What is allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease caused by an hypersensitive reaction to specific allergens. During seasonal changes, external environmental factors such as increased pollen and fine dust levels can worsen symptoms. When these substances contact the nasal mucosa, an immune response occurs, leading to symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
Main causes of allergic rhinitis
1. Pollen: Pollen, which mainly occurs in spring and fall, is one of the main causes of allergic rhinitis. Especially because it easily disperses into the air by the wind, it can easily enter the respiratory system when going outside.
2. Fine dust and air pollution: Fine dust suspended in the air irritates the nasal mucosa and triggers allergy symptoms. On days with high levels of fine dust, allergy rhinitis symptoms can worsen even more.
3. House dust mites: Indoor dust and mites are the main indoor triggers that cause allergic reactions. In particular, if indoor air cleanliness is not maintained, symptoms can worsen.

Symptoms of allergic rhinitis
1. Sneezing: Sudden and persistent sneezing is a characteristic symptom of allergic rhinitis.
2. Runny nose and nasal congestion: In allergic rhinitis, clear nasal discharge continuously flows, and swelling of the nasal mucosa can cause nasal congestion.
3. Eye itching: Many patients with allergic rhinitis experience symptoms such as itchy or bloodshot eyes.
■Allergic Rhinitis Prevention and Management Methods
1. Indoor Air Management: Managing indoor air quality is important. Use air purifiers or ventilate frequently to reduce house dust mites and fine dust levels.
2. Washing the face and taking a shower after going out: Since allergens can attach to the skin, clothes, and hair when going out and be brought indoors, it is recommended to wash the face and take a shower immediately after returning.
3. Medical consultation and medication treatment: If allergy rhinitis symptoms persist or significantly interfere with daily life, consult a doctor to consider medication treatments such as antihistamines and nasal sprays. Preventive medication intake can also help alleviate symptoms during seasonal changes.
