If you live in Delhi and suffer from a blocked nose, constant sneezing, watery eyes, or a persistent runny nose — especially in the mornings or when exposed to dust — you may be dealing with allergic rhinitis. It is one of the most common conditions treated at Rog Nidan ENT Clinic, Janakpuri by Dr. Pranshu Mehta, MS ENT Surgeon.

What Is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal passages triggered by allergens such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, or mould. In Delhi, where air quality and dust levels are high, allergic rhinitis is extremely prevalent. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, itchy eyes and throat, and fatigue.

Allergic Rhinitis vs. Common Cold — How to Tell the Difference

• Duration: Allergic rhinitis lasts as long as exposure to the allergen continues. A cold typically resolves in 7–10 days.
• Discharge: Allergic rhinitis causes clear, watery discharge. A cold may produce yellow or green discharge as it progresses.
• Fever: No fever with allergic rhinitis. A cold often causes mild fever.
• Triggers: Allergic rhinitis worsens with dust, seasonal changes, or specific environments. A cold is caused by a virus.
