Do you find yourself sneezing constantly? Struggling with a stuffy or runny nose, or irritated eyes that just won’t stop itching? You might be dealing with nasal allergies—a condition more common than many realize, and one that can seriously affect your quality of life.
In a recent video, Dr. Nagendra from Maruti Clinic sheds light on this often-overlooked issue, helping viewers understand what nasal allergies are, why they happen, and most importantly, how to manage them effectively.
What Are Nasal Allergies?
Nasal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis, occur when your immune system overreacts to allergens in the air, like dust, pollen, pet dander, or mold. The result? Inflammation of the nasal passages, leading to sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes or throat.
Allergy vs. Infection – What’s the Difference?
Dr. Nagendra emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between nasal allergies and infections such as the common cold or sinusitis. While symptoms can overlap, infections usually come with fever and fatigue, whereas allergies are more seasonal or triggered by specific exposures and don’t cause fever.
When to Seek Medical Help
If your symptoms persist, disrupt your sleep, or reduce your ability to function during the day, it’s time to consult a doctor. Persistent allergies may require allergy testing or prescription medications like antihistamines, nasal sprays, or immunotherapy.
Dr. Nagendra’s Tips for Prevention & Management:
- Avoid known triggers – Use air purifiers, wash bedding regularly, and keep windows closed during high pollen seasons.
- Maintain nasal hygiene – Saline rinses can help clear allergens from nasal passages.
- Follow medical advice – Don’t self-medicate; instead, use medications as prescribed.
- Build immunity – A healthy diet and lifestyle may reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time.
