Allergic Rhinitis




Allergen mediated; thus, allergen avoidance is the best treatment.


➤ Nasal steroids are the most effective chronic allergic rhinitis medications, often used with antihistamines.

➤ Nasal polyps can be sequelae of chronic inflammation and allergic rhinitis, but younger patients with polyps must be screened for cystic fibrosis.

People often confuse an allergy with a cold or flu. Remember colds are short-lived and passed from person to person, whereas allergies are immune system reactions to normally harmless substances
