Allergic Rhinitis ( Hay Fever )

Rhinitis is a short-term and big problem characterized by the symptoms produced by nasal irritation or inflammation  Culprits are small particles like dust  pollen, dirt, germs, mold and microscopic viruses or bacteria, or some environmental factors that act as an allergen that triggers Allergic Rhinitis. 

The human immune system is well designed to recognize any foreign body. The nasal  Lining systematically produces mucus which traps these foreign bodies. This 
contaminated mucus flows from the front  of the nose and drains down the back of  the throat naturally.
If the immune system of a person is oversensitive it will react to these foreign bodies and now these foreign bodies are termed allergens. Antibodies are produced  to fight against this allergen (antigen) Antigen-Antibody complex developed whenever antigen comes in contact with the nasal passage of your nose and throat internally, these antibodies cause cells to release a number of chemicals, including histamines. The irritated nasal mucous membrane becomes inflamed and produces too much mucous. This thick mucus, or contains irritating substances flow from the front nasal opening as a  sign of a runny nose, or become  noticeable from the back, as post-nasal drip, or as a cough for clearing the throat
