 ==Overview==
 ==Pathophysiology==
-Rhinitis is caused by chronic or acute [[inflammation]] of the [[mucous membrane]] of the nose due to viruses, [[bacteria]] or irritants. The inflammation results in the generating of excessive amounts of [[mucus]] producing a [[runny nose]], [[nasal congestion]] and [[post-nasal drip]].
-Rhinitis is caused by an increase in [[histamine]]. This increase is likely caused by airborne [[allergen]]s. These allergens may affect an individual's nose, throat, or eyes and cause an increase in fluid production within these areas.
-Rhinitis is considered [[IgE]]-mediated when the sufferer is classified as having [[allergic rhinitis]].
