Is rhinitis the same thing as a cold?
Rhinitis is actually a response to an offending substance that causes the nose to run or be stuffy. It is more like an immune reaction - an offending substance tells your body to protect itself by having your nose run or be stuffy. On the other hand a cold is a virus that can cause many symptoms including rhinitis - runny or stuffy nose. It is one of those offending substances that turns on the immune response as opposed to being the actual rhinitis. Hope this was helpful READ MORE
