Avoiding outdoor allergens
Introduction
Allergic rhinitis causes symptoms of sneezing, congestion, and a runny nose. But you can control these symptoms with medicine and by avoiding the things that cause them (allergens). If you are allergic to outdoor allergens, such as pollen and mould, you don't have to give up an outdoor life. You just need to know when and how to take precautions.
By taking these precautions, you may have fewer or less severe symptoms.
