"Allergic rhinitis: A runny nose that  won't leave me alone"

Allergic rhinitis occurs after exposure to an environmental trigger, called an allergen. The allergen causes the body to release a substance called histamine to “protect” the body from the allergen. Histamine, in turn, causes runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and other symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
