Step-by-step explanation:

Itchy skin, watery eyes, runny nose, puffy eyelids, hives, and/or welts on the skin are signs or symptoms of an allergic response. Common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, specific foods, insect stings, and certain medications can trigger this response. Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is one type of allergy with symptoms including sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes.
