Recognition
Do any of these feel familiar?
People describe a blocked nose that alternates sides, reduced ability to smell and taste, disturbed sleep from mouth breathing, headache and facial pressure from sinus involvement, and postnasal drip causing throat irritation and coughing. Seasonal patterns are characteristic of allergic rhinitis. Those with year-round symptoms typically have perennial allergen triggers (dust mites, pets) or non-allergic causes. Many find symptoms worsen at night when lying flat increases mucosal engorgement.
