Rhinitis is not necessarily an allergy, it could be GERD

  Many rhinitis patients are troubled by sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion every day, and they are invariably diagnosed as allergic rhinitis in hospitals. With the development of medicine. My clinical research has revealed that many rhinitis are not really allergies, but are caused by gastroesophageal reflux, which we call gastroesophageal reflux-derived rhinitis.  Although the symptoms of GERD rhinitis are very similar to allergic rhinitis, there are essential differences between the two: 1. The former is not seasonal, while the latter has obvious seasonality.  2. The former is most obvious in the early morning and when waking up, in addition, it is more sensitive to changes in the environment, such as the alternation of hot and cold air; the latter attacks after contact with allergens.  3.The former is sometimes related to eating.  4.Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, such as acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, belching, etc., are found in some patients of the former.
