Perennial Allergic Rhinitis

Also known as:  Persistent Allergic Rhinitis

Perennial Allergic Rhinitis is a form of Rhinitis that is similar to Hay Fever except that it persists throughout the year.  The cause of this form of Allergic Rhinitis is usually air-borne Allergens, particularly dust, feathers, molds or animal fur.  The symptoms of Perennial Allergic Rhinitis vary in severity throughout the year.  Extranasal symptoms such as Eye Inflammation are uncommon.  Chronic obstruction of the nasal passages is common and may extend into the Eustachian Tube.  Hearing difficulty associated with Eustachian Tube complications are particularly common in children.
