Rhinitis
Modern MedicalRhinitis is inflammation of the lining inside the nose. It causes a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, itching and irritation. Allergic rhinitis is triggered by dust, pollen, mould or animal dander, while infective rhinitis usually follows a cold. Some people have symptoms all year round. A doctor identifies the type from the history, the pattern of triggers and, where needed, allergy tests.
