Furthermore, if you've relied on garden-variety antihistamines in the past and not sought a medical opinion on your condition, you may be heading for chronic nasal inflammation and exacerbated symptoms. Since allergic rhinitis is also associated with asthma, it is wise to be examined and properly diagnosed. Particularly if you find that your allergies are occurring year round, you need to examine the source.
