How Allergies Can Affect the Nose and Sinuses

Speciality: ENT

Description:

Welcome to our podcast. Today, let’s talk about how allergies can impact the nose and sinuses. When you’re exposed to allergens like pollen, dust, or pet dander, your immune system reacts by releasing chemicals such as histamine. This causes the lining of your nose to become swollen and produce excess mucus, leading to symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose. Over time, inflammation can also affect your sinuses, causing pressure, headaches, and even sinus infections. Understanding these reactions is important for managing symptoms and improving your quality of life. Simple steps like avoiding triggers and using prescribed medications can make a big difference. Thanks for tuning in.
