J30.3: Other allergic rhinitis

You have a cold. This rhinitis is caused by an allergy.

The inside of the nose is covered with mucous membrane. The mucous membrane swells up during a cold. The mucous membrane then produces more fluid. As a result, the nose runs. Furthermore, it can be more difficult to breathe through the nose and to smell.

Your rhinitis is caused by an allergy. With an allergy, the immune system overreacts to certain substances. Such substances may be harmless substances in the environment, drugs or certain chemicals, for example.

Additional indicator

On medical documents, the ICD code is often appended by letters that indicate the diagnostic certainty or the affected side of the body.

  • G: Confirmed diagnosis
  • V: Tentative diagnosis
  • Z: Condition after
  • A: Excluded diagnosis
  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides
