Allergic rhinitis flares up during seasonal transitions, known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, which primarily occurs in the transition periods between spring-summer and autumn-winter. If nasal congestion occurs during the spring-summer season, it is mostly due to hay fever caused by pollen allergy; wearing a mask can help alleviate symptoms. If nasal congestion arises during the autumn-winter season, it is typically triggered by cold air entering the nasal passages during breathing; keeping warm can help relieve the congestion.
