What is hay fever? What are the symptoms and signs?
Hay fever is a misnomer. Hay is not a usual cause of this problem, and it does not cause fever. Early descriptions of sneezing, nasal congestion, and eye irritation while harvesting field hay promoted this popular term. Allergic rhinitis is the correct term used to describe this allergic reaction, and many different substances cause the allergic symptoms noted in hay fever. Rhinitis means "irritation of the nose" and is a derivative of rhino, meaning nose. Allergic rhinitis which occurs during a specific season is called "seasonal allergic rhinitis." When it occurs throughout the year, it is called "perennial allergic rhinitis." Rhinosinusitis is the medical term that refers to inflammation of the nasal lining as well as the lining tissues of the sinuses. This term is sometime used because the two conditions frequently occur together.

Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Rhinocort Aqua (budesonide) nasal spray is used to treat nasal symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by seasonal or year-round allergies. It is also used to keep nasal polyps from returning after surgical removal. Rhinocort Aqua is a steroid. Common side effects include nose/throat dryness or irritation, cough, sneezing, nosebleeds, and unpleasant taste/smell.
In adults and in children older than 6 years, the recommended starting dose of Rhinocort Aqua is 2-4 sprays in each nostril in the morning and in the evening, or 4 sprays in each nostril only in the morning. Rhinocort Aqua may interact with HIV /AIDS medicine, antibiotics, antifungals, or antidepressants. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using Rhinocort Aqua. Rarely, infants born to mothers using corticosteroids (including budesonide) may have low levels of corticosteroid hormone. Tell your doctor if you notice symptoms such as persistent nausea/vomiting, severe diarrhea, or weakness in your newborn. It is unknown if Rhinocort Aqua passes into breast milk. This medication might also pass into breast milk in very small amounts that are unlikely to harm a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
