Nasal Allergies: What You Need to Know
Nasal allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis, occur when your immune system reacts to allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes — and they can affect your quality of life year-round or seasonally.
Whether you’re dealing with springtime pollen or indoor triggers, relief is within reach. Learn how a Centrum Pharmacist in Ottawa and Orleans can help you manage your allergy symptoms effectively.
