Symptoms
The classic symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis are:
- Itching of the nose, ears, throat and palate
- Sneezing
- Nasal congestion
- Post nasal drip
- Runny nose
- Cough
- Watery nasal discharge
- Perennial allergic conjunctivitis
- Sinus pressure
- Ear fullness and popping
- Fatigue
- Respiratory infections
- Asthma
- Atopic dermatitis
These symptoms are similar to those of seasonal allergic rhinitis. However the symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis may be subtle and you may only have 1 or 2 symptoms, making the diagnosis more difficult. If you have chronic nasal symptoms which are unexplained, you should be evaluated for perennial allergic rhinitis.
