Introduction
The improvement of allergic rhinitis in September is generally uncertain, but it usually gets better in mid-September or late September. If pollen levels start to decrease and the air becomes more humid in mid-September, following medical advice to use medications such as loratadine tablets or diphenhydramine tablets can help alleviate symptoms. By late September, with a significant drop in ambient temperature and reduced allergens in the air, taking proper protection for the mouth and nose and using prescribed medications as directed typically leads to improvement.

Allergic rhinitis may improve at some point in September, but the exact timing is generally uncertain. Improvement usually occurs in mid- to late September, depending on specific interventions and individual circumstances.

1. Mid-September

If pollen levels in your area begin to gradually decrease in mid-September, and if there has been frequent rainfall recently resulting in more humid air, symptoms are likely to improve—especially when antihistamines such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine tablets, or diphenhydramine tablets are taken promptly as prescribed by a doctor to suppress allergic reactions. Under these conditions, improvement typically occurs during this period.

2. Late September

In most regions, environmental temperatures have significantly dropped by late September, and airborne allergens begin to diminish gradually, which helps alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion and itching. If proper protection for the nose and mouth is maintained and medications are used according to medical advice, the condition generally improves during this time.

Since this condition has a relatively high recurrence rate, it's important to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations for ongoing management to help reduce the likelihood of relapse.
