Causes and treatment of rhinitis in the morning

It happens that in the evening we go to bed a healthy person, and in the morning we wake up with a stuffy nose. A runny nose in the morning can be a sign of many diseases, which requires careful diagnosis. This symptom causes discomfort and worsens the quality of life.

The causes of a runny nose can be hidden in an allergic reaction. Hyperreactivity of the immune system may be due to the influence of:
