Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is a type of inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. Signs and symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and swelling around the eyes. The fluid from the nose is usually clear.
On the other hand,
Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic nasal condition with unknown cause. It is characterized by the formation of thick dry crusts in a roomy nasal cavity, which has resulted from progressive wasting away or decrease in size ( atrophy ) of the mucous nasal lining ( mucosa ) and underlying bone.
