Allergic rhinitis (AR), the most common chronic disease in children, is the
fifth most common chronic disease in the United States. Otolaryngologists see a large
percentage of patient’s whose disease process is often associated with, or caused by,
upper and lower airway inflammation. Because allergy is a common contributor to
airway inflammation, a working knowledge of the treatment options for pediatric
allergic rhinitis is essential in the evaluation and management of children presenting to
otolaryngologists.
