Question 2

• Eye symptoms of allergic rhinitis are caused by

Question 3

• Sinusitis associated with allergic rhinitis is
  caused by
• Ostial obstruction
• Nasal sinus reflexes
• Enhanced bacterial infection
• Systemic activation of immune cells
• Antigen deposit in the sinuses
• Skewing of immune response
