Seasonal allergic rhinitis occurs only during periods of intense airborne pollen or spores.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis is often called "Hay fever". Tree and grass pollens and some fungi trigger seasonal allergic nose and eye allergy during springtime and early summer (March to June). Seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms include nasal and eye itching with explosive sneezing, watery eyes and nose and itchy palate and ears with profuse post-nasal drip. Seasonal allergic rhinitis patients do not develop the typical "allergy face" but have seasonal puffiness of the eyes and eyelids with associated nasal membrane swelling.

Several types of allergens cause allergic rhinitis, including pollens, mold, dust mites, animal dander, and cockroaches. Although polluted air is not an allergen, it can irritate your nose and lungs. An irritated nose or lungs may make an allergic reaction more likely when you breathe in an allergen.

There is no cure for allergic rhinitis. One of the best things you can do is to avoid the things that cause your allergies. You may need to clean your house often to get rid of dust, animal dander, or molds. Or you may need to stay indoors when pollen counts are high.

Airborne pollen and mold spores can cause allergic rhinitis... known as hay fever, in both children and adults. More than 15% of the population has allergic rhinitis, which negatively affects the quality of life for many patients. Poor sleep and diminished work productivity are the biggest consequences of rhinitis, as many patients cannot obtain sufficient rest because of their symptoms.3 Recently, the total costs of allergic rhinitis were estimated at $5.3 billion annually.4
