A sinus allergy, often referred to as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. The symptoms primarily affect the nasal passages, sinuses, and sometimes the eyes and throat.
Common symptoms include nasal congestion or stuffiness, which occurs due to inflammation of the nasal lining.
This is often accompanied by a runny nose, where the mucus is typically clear and watery. Sneezing, often in rapid succession, is another hallmark symptom.
Sinus allergies also cause itching, which may affect the nose, eyes, throat, or the roof of the mouth. Watery, red, or itchy eyes are common, especially in cases of seasonal allergies caused by pollen.
Postnasal drip, where mucus drips down the back of the throat, can lead to a sore or scratchy throat and sometimes coughing.
In more severe cases, sinus allergies can cause sinus pressure and headaches, especially around the eyes, forehead, or cheeks. Fatigue may occur due to disturbed sleep or the body's reaction to the allergens.
Unlike a cold, sinus allergy symptoms do not involve fever, and they persist as long as the person is exposed to the allergen. Identifying triggers and managing exposure is key to alleviating symptoms.
