Nonallergic Rhinitis
Nonallergic rhinitis is the inflammation of the nose, not caused by an allergy. Instead, nonallergic rhinitis may be due to hormonal changes, looking at bright light, spicy foods or certain irritants. Nonallergic rhinitis symptoms are similar to those of hay fever (allergic rhinitis), but with none of the usual evidence of an allergic reaction. Nonallergic rhinitis can affect children and adults.
