Allergic Rhinitis

Constant Sneezing or Stuffy Nose? It Could Be Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis — also known as hay fever or nasal allergies — is a common condition that causes sneezing, congestion, and postnasal drip. At ENT Sinus Center of Orlando, we help you identify your triggers and create a treatment plan that brings lasting relief.

  • Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction that affects the lining of the nose when you’re exposed to allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander. This condition can be seasonal (hay fever) or year-round (perennial), depending on your specific triggers.

  • ● Sneezing fits● Runny or stuffy nose● Itchy nose, throat, or eyes● Watery, red, or swollen eyes● Postnasal drip● Cough or throat irritation● Fatigue or trouble concentrating
    Symptoms can be mild or severe and may worsen during certain times of the year or after exposure to specific allergens.

  • ● Seasonal pollen (trees, grass, weeds)● Indoor allergens like dust mites, mold, or pet dander● Air pollutants or strong odors● Weather changes (cold air, humidity)

  • We use allergy testing to determine the exact cause of your nasal symptoms. Skin testing or blood tests can identify what you’re allergic to and help guide treatment.

  • Allergen Avoidance
    We’ll help you reduce your exposure by recommending environmental changes at home or work.
    Medications● Antihistamines● Nasal corticosteroid sprays● Decongestants● Eye drops
    Allergy Immunotherapy
    For long-term control of symptoms, allergy shots or sublingual drops can train your immune system to stop overreacting to allergens.

  • While both conditions can cause sneezing and a runny nose, colds are caused by viruses and usually clear up in about a week. Allergic rhinitis lasts longer and tends to come back in response to allergen exposure.

  • If your symptoms persist despite over-the-counter treatments, or if they interfere with sleep, work, or daily life, our ENT specialists can help you get control over your allergies and feel better year-round.
