Nasal and Sinus Allergies
Nasal and sinus allergies, commonly referred to as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, are reactions to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander that affect the nose and sinuses. These allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, nasal discharge, and congestion, leading to discomfort and breathing difficulties. At Revere Health, we offer personalized treatment plans to help manage and reduce the symptoms of nasal and sinus allergies, improving patients’ quality of life.
Common Causes of Nasal & Sinus Allergies
- Pollen: Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen, triggering allergic reactions, particularly during spring and fall.
- Dust Mites: Microscopic dust mites found in bedding and furniture can cause year-round allergy symptoms.
- Pet Dander: Proteins found in the skin flakes, urine, and saliva of pets can cause allergic reactions.
- Mold: Mold spores can trigger allergies, especially in damp environments.
