Which symptom is NOT associated with allergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is primarily characterized by symptoms that stem from an allergic response to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, watery rhinorrhea (runny nose), and itchy eyes, all of which occur due to the release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators during an allergic reaction.

Fever is not typically associated with allergic rhinitis. It is more commonly related to infections rather than allergies. While an individual with allergic rhinitis may experience nasal and ocular symptoms, the underlying mechanism does not involve the systemic inflammatory response that leads to fever. Therefore, fever stands out as an incorrect symptom listed in this context, reinforcing that allergic rhinitis primarily leads to localized responses rather than systemic symptoms like fever.
