Congestion. Sneezing. Runny nose. Stuffy nose. These symptoms may be all too familiar to those with allergic rhinitis – sometimes called seasonal allergies or hay fever. An incredibly common condition, allergic rhinitis, affects about 1 in 5 people and is triggered by exposure to allergens, like pollen or pet dander.
Dr. Michael Yong is a board certified otolaryngologist PNI. He provides full-service general otolaryngology care, specializing in nose, sinus and skull base disorders. Using minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Yong treats all manner of related issues including allergic and non-allergic rhinitis.
Over-the-counter medications can usually treat allergic rhinitis symptoms, Dr. Yong says, but if that’s not enough, minimally invasive procedures are available.
