Allergic rhinitis often causes persistent sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and a clear runny nose that occurs in response to specific triggers like pollen, dust, or pets. Unlike a cold, symptoms usually last for weeks or months, are not accompanied by a fever, and may worsen during certain seasons. Observing patterns and consulting a pediatrician can help confirm the diagnosis.
