Persistent nasal allergies can significantly affect your day-to-day comfort. Common symptoms include:

·       Sneezing fits and itchy eyes/throat

·       Postnasal drip (mucus flowing down the throat)

If these symptoms last for weeks or recur frequently, consulting an ENT specialist is recommended.
