the rhinitis allergic Allergic rhinitis is a diagnosis associated with a group of symptoms affecting the nose. These symptoms occur when you breathe in something you are allergic to, such as dust, animal dander, or pollen. Symptoms can also occur when you eat a food that you are allergic to. When it is allergic rhinitis, it can also be transient, since it is due to an immunological reaction of the organism against the presence of certain substances known as allergens. In this case, the appearance of seasonal allergic rhinitis coincides with the time of flowering of certain species such as grasses, olive or cupresaceae,

Allergy, however, can also cause chronic rhinitis when the reason for the allergy are other elements such as mites, inhalation of certain substances present in the patient's environment (occupational allergy) or pet hairs, which do not have a seasonal

character.(14

● cause An allergen is something that triggers an allergy. When a person with allergic rhinitis breathes in an allergen such as pollen, mold, animal dander, or dust, the body releases chemicals that cause allergy symptoms.

● Chronic rhinitis La rinitis crónica se produce por la inflamación de la parte interna de la nariz y tiene diferentes causas. Hay que recordar que la rinitis crónica es una afección muy común y los casos

van cada año en aumento (muy probablemente debido a la

contaminación atmosférica).
