Nasal Congestion
Rhizopus allergy often presents itself as nasal congestion. Patients may have the feeling of a 'stuffy nose', difficulty in breathing, and experience obstruction in nasal passages caused by inflamed tissues and an abundance of mucus.
Respiratory Distress
Due to sensitivity to Rhizopus, some patients may encounter severe respiratory distress. It can include shortness of breath and breathlessness, high-pitched breathing, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Skin Rash
Skin reactions are common in Rhizopus allergies. Patients might observe red spots, inflammation, and itchiness of skin. Bumps, hives, or swelling may also occur on the skin.
Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain is another symptom of Rhizopus allergy. This discomfort can range from mild to severe. It usually presents as an ache in the belly area, and can also manifest in the form of bloating or cramps.
Watery Eyes
Patient may experience watery or teary eyes. This occurs when the body's immune system reacts to the fungus, leading to eye irritation and the production of excess tears.
Sinusitis
Rhizopus allergy may lead to sinusitis, an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. This could potentially lead to headache, facial pain, nasal congestion and reduction in the sense of smell.
