Exercise-Induced Rhinitis in Phoenix, Arizona
Experiencing a runny nose while exercising is common and is often caused by exercise-induced rhinitis, where nasal inflammation triggers symptoms like a runny nose, congestion, and watery eyes. Both allergic rhinitis (from pollen, pet dander, or mold) and non-allergic rhinitis (from odors, pollution, or weather changes) can be activated by physical activity.
Managing Exercise-Induced Rhinitis
-
Identify and avoid triggers when possible (outdoor pollen, chlorinated pools, cold air)
-
Use oral antihistamines (like Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra)
-
Try decongestants or nasal sprays for congestion
-
Use home remedies such as nasal rinses or a humidifier
