The health effects of allergic rhinitis are not limited to the nasal cavity, but may often cause headaches, sleep problems, cognitive dysfunction (e.g., easy alertness, reduced concentration and memory), and serious impact on life and work.
If treatment is delayed, it is often complicated by asthma, sinusitis, otitis media, conjunctivitis, nasal polyps and pharyngitis. According to statistics, more than half of asthma patients develop from allergic rhinitis, so the two are called “one airway, one disease”.
Allergic rhinitis can also cause cerebral infarction, high blood pressure, sudden heart attack and even sudden death at night in severe cases. Therefore, a small rhinitis should not be ignored and should be treated promptly.
