Rhinitis (pronounced /raɪˈnaɪtɪs/), commonly known as a stuffy nose, is the medical term describing irritation and inflammation of some internal areas of the nose. The primary symptom of rhinitis is nasal dripping. It is caused by chronic or acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose due to viruses, bacteria or irritants. The inflammation results in the generating of excessive amounts of mucus, commonly producing the aforementioned runny nose, as well as nasal congestion and post-nasal drip. According to recent studies completed in the United States, more than 50 million Americans are current sufferers.[clarification needed] Rhinitis has also been found to adversely affect more than just the nose, throat, and eyes. It has been associated with sleeping problems, ear conditions, and even learning problems.[1] Rhinitis is caused by an increase in histamine, which is most often triggered by airborne allergens. These allergens may affect an individual's nose, throat, or eyes and cause an increase in fluid production within these areas.
From Wikipedia.Or simply having a rhinoceros up your nostril. Its uncomfortable and I don't want it. My rhinitis doesn't have nasal dripping but I could feel pressure in my sinuses though.
I lost my Nasonex. Its like perfume for the walls of your upper nostril. Its weird the first time I had it because you had to spray it up your nose and sometimes it gets stingy but now, I can't complain. I need it. The rhinoceros is there and I feel like its digging a whole. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
I'm going to Manille early tomorrow. The air there is not cleaner that Iloilo's. Its like having burns on your hand and dipping it in boiling canola oil.
