Guide To The Causes Of Chronic Rhinitis

Weather Changes

Sudden changes in weather, the temperature, or humidity can trigger multiple membranes inside the nose to swell and result in a runny or stuffy nose. For example, skiers often develop a runny nose when they are first exposed to the cold, while others are heavily affected by any cold exposure, resulting in chronic rhinitis. Some individuals can even begin to sneeze after leaving a cold, air-conditioned room due to the complete switch over in temperature changes, as some individuals' bodies have a more difficult time adapting to different temperatures so suddenly. Changes in weather are often associated with seasonal or outdoor allergies, which is also known as allergic rhinitis and can be treated promptly with antihistamines.
