Recognising symptoms
Sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and throat irritation are common allergic-rhinitis symptoms.
Reducing exposure
Keeping windows closed during high-pollen periods, showering after outdoor exposure and maintaining clean indoor spaces can help some people.
Treatment options
Treatment can include avoidance strategies and medicines selected according to symptoms and individual factors. A clinician or pharmacist can guide appropriate options.
Persistent symptoms
Frequent, severe or unclear symptoms should be assessed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes.
