It can be allergic, nonallergic, or both. Seasonal allergic rhinitis is caused by substances that trigger allergies, called allergens and is sometimes referred to as hay fever. Perennial allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated reaction to allergens that show little or now seasonal variation. It is persistent, chronic and generally less severe than seasonal allergic rhinitis.
