Nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy or runny nose

Many people with nasal allergies are bothered by symptoms that range from mild to severe. These symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, and an itchy or runny nose. Nasal allergy symptoms can last for months at a time in the case of seasonal nasal allergies, and they can even be year round if the symptoms are caused by indoor triggers.

Nasal congestion

Nasal congestion, or a stuffy nose, is a common and bothersome nasal allergy symptom. Congestion occurs when the immune system releases chemicals in response to an allergen. This causes the blood vessels inside the nose to swell, which in turn causes the lining of the nose to become swollen.

Sneezing

Sneezing is another common nasal allergy symptom. Sneezing is the body's reaction to an irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose or throat. These irritations can be caused by allergies. While repeated sneezing can be annoying, it is not considered dangerous.

Itchy or Runny Nose

Runny nose refers to the discharge of mucus-like fluid from the nose. An itchy nose is tingling or uneasy irritation of the skin that makes you want to scratch the nose. An itchy or runny nose can be caused by allergies.
