Rhinitis, non-allergic - Symptoms 

If you have non-allergic rhinitis, your symptoms may be constant or may come and go through the year.

Symptoms include:

• a runny nose
• a blocked nose
• sneezing (although this is less severe than in allergic rhinitis)
• mild nasal pressure and pain

Atrophic rhinitis

Atrophic rhinitis is where membranes lining the inside of your nose become thin and hard (atrophy). This causes a number of additional symptoms including:

• nasal crusting
• a foul-smelling odour produced by the crust
• nosebleeds if you try to remove the crusts
• loss of the sense of smell
