What are the causes of allergic rhinitis??

Allergic rhinitis which is also known as hay fever, is an allergic response to specific allergens such as pollen, dust, animal dander (old skin), cat saliva and mold. It is the most common childhood ailment caused by allergies and its symptoms include a runny and itchy nose, sneezing, postnasal drip and nasal congestion (blockage). A child with allergies may also have itchy, watery, red eyes and chronic ear problems. Even though it’s commonly known as “hay fever,” allergic rhinitis isn’t triggered by hay and doesn’t cause fever.
