Allergic Rhinitis, commonly known as nasal allergy or hay fever, is one of the most common ENT conditions affecting children and adults. It occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, or pet dander, leading to inflammation of the nasal lining. Typical symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy nose, and watery eyes. Allergic rhinitis is not caused by an infection but by an allergic response to environmental triggers.
If you are experiencing frequent sneezing, nasal blockage, or recurrent sinus problems in Nashik, consult the ENT specialists at Patil ENT Hospital for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
