Allergic and Non-Allergic Rhinitis – A Practical Approach

Trending3.5(New)

Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal passages, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea (runny nose), and itching. It is one of the most common chronic conditions in both children and adults, significantly impacting quality of life and productivity. Rhinitis can be broadly divided into two categories: allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR), which differ in their underlying causes and treatment approaches. Allergic rhinitis is triggered by an immune system response to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, animal dander, or mold. This condition involves an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction that leads to the release of histamines and other inflammatory mediators. Common symptoms include sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. It is commonly associated with other atopic conditions, such as asthma and eczema.

Frequently Asked Questions

Allergic rhinitis is caused by an immune system response to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander.

Non-allergic rhinitis is diagnosed based on clinical presentation and exclusion of allergic causes, often through nasal endoscopy or imaging.

First-line treatments include antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, and allergen avoidance.

Antihistamines are sometimes used, but their effectiveness is generally limited in non-allergic rhinitis.

Avoiding triggers, using air purifiers, and regular saline nasal irrigation are all effective strategies.

Follow-up should be scheduled regularly to assess symptom control and make adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary.
