Patient's question:
Every morning after waking up, my nose itches, and I sneeze continuously. Throughout the day, the symptoms recur intermittently, accompanied by nasal congestion. At night, the congestion can sometimes be more severe, and the forehead may also itch. Since May 1998, after a cold, these symptoms appeared, though they were milder. At the time, I just thought it was because the cold hadn't fully gone away or because of an underlying cause. It wasn't until now that I realized it's chronic rhinitis.Doctor's answer:

Throughout the day, the symptoms recur intermittently with nasal congestion, and at night, they can be more severe with itching in the forehead.
