What is Allergic Rhinitis?

• Immune system reactions to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds.

• Your immune system recognizes pollen as a bodily threat, causing symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, a runny nose, and itchy eyes.

Additionally, seasonal allergies can develop at any age due to environmental factors and genetics. In Central Texas, pollen exposure can occur year round, so it is especially important to schedule an appointment at Central Texas Allergy and Asthma to develop a treatment plan.
