Reply to comment by feidxeno in A Swedish study of over 200,000 people who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 between March 2020 and July 2021 has found that women, people with asthma and those with previous mental health disorders are more likely to experience long-term effects of COVID-19. by MistWeaver80

That's super interesting... Perhaps your body overreaction to minor allergies is muted for a period after infection with covid.. like some people's smell /taste

Possibly. I'm a 39yo healthy male. Covid doesn't seem to cause me any observable long term symptoms so far. I was positive for 5 days for the first covid and positive for only 2-3 days on the second. Just fyi, I had 4 vaccine shots so far since last year.

My wife on the other hand, will get a bad cough that last 1-2 months even after testing negative. 3 vaccine shots

My kids, 3 and 6 years old bounced back fast too. No vaccine.

No noticeable loss of taste and smell either.

Did Covid-19 vaccine affect Rhinitis in any way at all?

Nope. I just took a Moderna Bivalent shot 2 weeks ago, it did not affect my allergies at all. All I got is soreness at the injection spot for the next 3 days.

Could be something like immune system re-balancing its priorities. So it prioritises dealing with Covid-19 over its default priorities which happen to be reacting to generally harmless things by causing rhinitis.

Or, your bodies immune system is weakened/suppressed after COVID, meaning you could be at risk of severe illness from other pathogens.
