It is categorized as allergic or nonallergic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhinitis can be uncomfortable and make it difficult to participate in the activities that mean the most to you. Nonallergic rhinitis isn\u2019t just bothersome; if untreated, it can cause acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis and ear infections. At Sacramento Ear, Nose &#038; Throat, we can provide high-quality treatment to help relieve your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/sacent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/man-with-rhinitis.jpg\" alt=\"Blurry back shoulder and face of a person pressing their thumbs on either side of the bridge of the nose of a man who is looking at them. \" class=\"wp-image-1671\" title=\"Rhinitis Sufferer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sacent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/man-with-rhinitis.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sacent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/man-with-rhinitis-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Symptoms of Nonallergic Rhinitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sacent.com\/ent\/congestion-stuffy-nose\/\">Congestion<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Runny or stuffy nose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sneezing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Postnasal drip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis doesn\u2019t cause itchy eyes, nose or throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Nonallergic Rhinitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the exact cause of nonallergic rhinitis is unknown, it occurs when the nose\u2019s blood vessels expand and fill the nasal lining with blood and fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential triggers of nonallergic rhinitis include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Infections like the cold or flu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irritants like dust, smoke, chemical fumes or strong odors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spicy foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain medications, including aspirin, ibuprofen and beta blockers, along with overuse of decongestant nasal sprays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in temperature or humidity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hormonal changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acid reflux<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleeping on your back or having untreated sleep apnea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Rhinitis Diagnosed and Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During your visit, your provider will discuss your medical history, your symptoms and how your daily life has been impacted. Part of the diagnostic process is ensuring that your symptoms aren\u2019t caused by other conditions. Tests to achieve this may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sacent.com\/allergist\/allergy-testing\/\">Skin and blood tests<\/a> to rule out allergies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nasal endoscopy or CT scan to rule out nasal polyps or a deviated septum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your symptoms are caused by nonallergic rhinitis, your doctor will provide a treatment plan based on the severity of your symptoms.&nbsp; Mild rhinitis is often responsive to home remedies like using a neti pot or humidifier. For more severe symptoms, your provider may recommend over-the-counter or prescription drugs such as antihistamines, decongestants, saline or corticosteroid nasal sprays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to make sure rhinitis doesn\u2019t detract from your quality of life. Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, we can help you find relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"content-cta\">\r\n\t<div class=\"content-cta-text\">\r\n\t\tCall Sacramento Ear, Nose, Throat, Allergy &#038; Facial Plastics at for more information or to schedule an appointment.\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<details class=\"header-phone content-cta-header-phone\">\r\n\t\t<summary>Call Us Today!<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"11.5\" stroke=\"#541211\"\/>\n<path d=\"M7 10L12 15L17 10\" stroke=\"#541211\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/summary>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"phone-tree\">\r\n\t\t\t\r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19167363399\" class=\"phone \"><span>Sacramento, CA<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-3399<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Sacramento office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-3399<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19167366644\" class=\"phone \"><span>Roseville (Eureka Rd)<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Roseville office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19169848830\" class=\"phone \"><span>Folsom (Creekside)<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 984-8830<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Folsom office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 984-8830<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+12093338510\" class=\"phone \"><span>Lodi<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(209) 333-8510<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Lodi office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(209) 333-8510<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+12099520483\" class=\"phone \"><span>Stockton<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(209) 952-0483<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Stockton office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(209) 952-0483<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19169662700\" class=\"phone \"><span>Fair Oaks<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 966-2700<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Fair Oaks office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 966-2700<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19167821291\" class=\"phone \"><span>Roseville (Medical Plaza Dr)<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 782-1291<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Roseville office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 782-1291<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19167366644\" class=\"phone \"><span>Folsom (Hana Way)<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Folsom office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n                <a href=\"tel:+19167366644\" class=\"phone \"><span>Sacramento, CA<\/span><span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><span class=screen-reader-text>Call our Sacramento office at <span class=\"phone-number\">(916) 736-6644<\/span><\/span><\/a>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t<\/details>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Rhinitis?
