What is Allergic Rhinitis (AR)
The confusion between a common cold and Allergic Rhinitis will continue until the concept is cleared. Your immune system works hard to protect you but can sometimes mistake harmless things like dust or pollen as enemies, causing allergies. When this happens in your nose, it's called Allergic Rhinitis. Outdoor things like smoke and indoor stuff like pet hair can trigger it. Remember, it's not a quick cold – Allergic Rhinitis sticks around longer.Know More
