Allergic Rhinitis is defined as "rhinitis that occurs at the same time every year. it is characterized by acute conjunctivitis with lacrimation and itching, and regarded as an allergic condition triggered by specific allergens."[1]
Cause / etiology
Allergic rhinitis may be associated with bronchial hyperreactivity.[2]
Diagnosis
Treatment
Clinical practice guidelines by written by authors with conflict of interests address the treatment.[3]
Azelastine nasal spray and fluticasone nasal spray in combination may be more effective than either used alone according to a randomized controlled trial.[4]
