Controlling indoor allergens
Introduction
Allergic rhinitis results in symptoms of sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose. However, you can control these symptoms with medicine and by avoiding the things that cause them (allergens). If you are allergic to indoor allergens, such as dust mites, animal dander, and mould, you can take some simple steps to get them out of your house.
By taking these precautions, you may have fewer symptoms or less severe symptoms.
