3. Runny Nose
Nobody likes a runny nose, and when yours starts running, you know something isn’t right. There are many different illnesses that can cause a runny nose, and rhinitis is one of them. The body makes extra mucus to try to flush the allergens from your system. The mucus builds up until it has nowhere else to go. It then escaped through the nose and other openings in the body.
Some people experience a stuffy nose and a runny nose at the same time, and others only have one problem or another. There are over-the-counter medications that can help treat a runny nose, but until the rhinitis is treated, the nose will likely continue to run.
Allergy medications are designed to prevent rhinitis symptoms from becoming severe. Luckily, a runny nose is usually one of the first things to clear up with the medications for rhinitis, and other types of allergies start working.
