Allergic rhinitis due to pollen - what does this mean
Allergic rhinitis due to pollen occurs when a person inhales pollen, which triggers an allergic reaction in the body. the body releases histamines, which leads to inflammation in the nasal passages, resulting in sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
What happens during the disease - allergic rhinitis due to pollen
Allergic rhinitis due to pollen is caused by an immune system response to pollen particles in the air. the body perceives pollen as a foreign invader and produces immunoglobulin e (ige) antibodies to fight it off. these ige antibodies cause the release of histamine and other chemicals, which leads to inflammation, swelling, and increased mucus production in the nose, eyes, and throat, resulting in the common symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
