Dust mite and pet allergy
goodtoknow says: One of the most common allergies, house dust-mite allergy can trigger asthma symptoms such as wheezing, cough, tight chest, runny nose and sore eyes. It's normally the droppings rather than the mite itself that people react too. We all have the tiny mites in our homes, no matter how clean. They live in bedding and mattresses and feed off dead skin cells. You can get similar symptoms if you're allergic to a household pet. Antihistamine medication and inhalers are very effective at minimising symptoms, but try to avoid the triggers and use mite-proof bedding and remove carpets.

Persistent rhinitis
goodtoknow says: Rhinitis is unpleasant but harmless. It happens because your nose is inflamed. So if you have a cold, hayfever or other allergic reaction, you're quite likely to get it. Rhinitis mainly causes sneezing and a runny, blocked or itchy nose. It can also cause watery red eyes, an itchy throat, headache and face pain. Some people get 'persistent rhinitis' which feels as if you have a permanent cold and is often caused by an allergy to house dust mites or a pet. Successful treatments include anti histamines and steroid nose sprays.
