Sometimes rhinitis can be more than just the “sniffles.” In fact, it’s been shown that uncontrolled allergic rhinitis can lead to:

• Increased risk of developing asthma;
• Poorer asthma control in people with asthma (wheezing, breathlessness, nighttime awakenings, limiting daily activities);
• Reduced physical, mental and emotional well-being;
• Reduced sleep quality (waking up at night);
• Being constantly tired, which leads to lowered concentration at work or school and needing more time off, all of which affects job performance or school work;
• Reduced quality of everyday life, including social life and daily activities;
• Irritability and social problems in children.
