Smoke Signals 13 MARCH 1,2012 CDoalb Inlaw Fod9 Do you get tired of the constant drip, drip, drip of your nose? What about itchy, red eyes? Sore throat, sneezing, coughing? If you are familiar with any of these symptoms, welcome to Club Hay Fever. Hay fever is also known as allergic rhinitis. Rhinitis is inflammation of your nasal passages. Inflammation can cause runny nose, nasal conges tion, sneezing, itching and the feeling that there is something dripping down the back of your throat. While rhinitis only refers to your nose, many people with allergies also have symptoms that affect their eyes, ears and throat. This includes wa tery nasal discharge, blocked nasal passages, sneezing, itching, loss of taste, facial pressure or pain, itchy or red eyes, feeling of grittiness in the eyes, sore throat, hoarse voice, congestion or popping of the ears, or itch ing of the throat or ears. Your sleep also can be disrupted because many people breathe out of their mouth, awaken frequently and then feel tired the next day. A diagnosis of allergic rhinitis is based on a physical examination and the symptoms described. For many people, rhinitis is a lifelong condition that waxes and wanes. Allergic rhinitis can begin at any time and affects approximately 20 percent of people of all ages. Fortunately, symptoms can usually be controlled. While we are enjoying a mild winter, it also means that we are seeing people with allergy complaints earlier than usual. I'm told there are even bees out and about. So for folks who know they have allergies, might I suggest you start your daily allergy medicine? I'm hoping to spare you a trip to see the fine folks at the clinic and pos sibly a nasty case of sinusitis, bronchitis or an ear infection. For the other people out there, if you're having these symptoms and they aren't relieved by over-the-counter products, come see us and we'll do our best to part you from your box of Kleenex.
