4. Allergies
A lot of people have allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, which is a blanket term for allergies that cause an inflammation of the nasal tissues. Perhaps the most common of all allergens that cause this is pollen, meaning that people with hay fever are more likely to have problems in the spring and summer when plants are pollinating.
Hay fever, and other allergies, can be very irritating. In addition to sneezing and a runny nose, they can also cause the eyes to stream and itch. Another irritating condition caused by hay fever is post nasal drip. The symptoms of allergies can often be treated effectively with antihistamines.
