Rhinitis: Persons
built 607 days ago
Allergic rhinitis is often mistaken for a cold, but whenever the symptoms occur repeatedly throughout the year, allergy should be suspected. The discharge from the nose in allergic rhinitis is usually thin and clear, whereas with a cold, it is usually thicker and yellowish due to infection. Unfortunately, when the membrane of the nose becomes irritated by allergy, it is easier for germs and viruses to invade and multiply making it common for a person to have both allergic rhinitis and infection.
