What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is a big word that means your nose and other parts of your face get all itchy and stuffy. It's like your nose is saying "Achoo!" a lot, and your eyes might get red and itchy too. At Angelos Koutsonikolis, M.D. in Boynton Beach, FL, we employ advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify and diagnose rhinitis, allowing for tailored treatment plans that help you breathe easier and enjoy a life free from nasal congestion and other symptoms. 

Who Gets Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis can happen to people of all ages but is more likely if you have asthma, eczema, or if someone in your family has it. It's kind of like a family thing sometimes.

What Causes Allergic Rhinitis?

This itchy-nose problem happens because your nose doesn't like tiny things in the air called allergens. These allergens can come from things like tree pollen or dust mites hiding in your bed.
