Symptoms

If you have nonallergic rhinitis, you probably have symptoms that come and go year-round. Signs and symptoms of nonallergic rhinitis might include:

• Stuffy or runny nose
• Sneezing
• Mucus in the throat
• Cough

Nonallergic rhinitis doesn't usually cause itchy nose, eyes or throat — symptoms associated with allergies such as hay fever.

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if:

• Your symptoms are severe
• You have signs and symptoms that aren't relieved by over-the-counter medications or self-care
• You have bothersome side effects from over-the-counter or prescription medications for rhinitis
