Allergies
Seasonal allergies are caused by sensitivity to pollen emitted by plants, usually in the fall and spring. Other common allergy causes (allergens) are dust mites, mold spores and animal dander, which are present year round.
Allergies can cause significant nasal and sinus symptoms, including nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, discharge and infections.
Related symptoms are itchy, watery eyes, itching in the throat and general malaise.
