Allergic rhinitis. Measures to control the misery.
Chronic fatigue, recurrent otitis and sinusitis, and poor performance at school or at work are among the many physical and psychosocial consequences of allergic rhinitis. Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays may be used to treat many patients, but immunotherapy may be necessary or more practical in others. In all cases, control of the patient's home environment, particularly the bedroom, is essential.
