"Allergies" of the nose, although it can extend systemically. The word rhinitis can be broken down elementally -- "rhino" refers to the nose, "itis" refers to inflammation. So the word itself means inflammation of the nose (well, its mucosal layer, anyhow).

In lames terms, it sounds like sneezing.
