Main Article Content
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is one of the most prevalent medical conditions. The goal of management is to achieve optimal symptom control. Therapy of allergic rhinitis includes allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy and immunotherapy. The basis of allergic rhinitis treatment is the reduction of the contact of nasal mucosa with allergens. Antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids are widely recognised as the most effective pharmacotherapy for allergic rhinitis, in adults and children. Guidelines that are available do not take into consideration the specificity of treatment in allergic rhinitis exacerbation. The author puts emphasis on the measures that enhance therapeutic effect of medication.
