Winter Nasal Allergies: Heating, Pollution, Dust Mites & Prevention Tips

• Winter nasal allergies (allergic rhinitis) are triggered by rising pollution and indoor factors like heating systems and allergens (dust mites, mold, pet dander).
• Indoor heating dries nasal passages and stirs up dust/allergens, worsening symptoms like congestion and sneezing.
• Dust mites thrive indoors in winter, and their waste causes allergic reactions, with symptoms often worsening due to increased indoor time.
• Prevention includes washing bedding in hot water, using air purifiers, maintaining indoor humidity (30-50%), and taking medications like antihistamines or nasal sprays.
• Immunotherapy (allergy shots/tablets) can be used for persistent symptoms, and regular medical consultation is advised.

Why It Matters: It helps you prevent and manage winter nasal allergies effectively.
