Rhinitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Rhinitis is inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the inside of the nose. It can have an allergic or non-allergic origin and usually causes persistent or recurrent nasal discomfort.
Common symptoms:
- Nasal congestion and sneezing
- Runny or dripping nose
- Itching in the nose, eyes, or throat
Common causes: Allergens such as dust or pollen, weather changes, environmental irritants, or infections, depending on the type of rhinitis.
Which specialist manages it? The otolaryngologist and the allergist are the professionals who assess this condition and identify its cause. If nasal symptoms affect your rest or your daily life, a consultation helps guide the most appropriate management for your case.
