Understanding is the means to control. Management and treatment of seasonal rhinitis.
It is essential to recognise symptoms of seasonal rhinitis as being an allergic reaction. Diagnosis should be supported by careful history-taking and confirmatory skin prick testing. Sufferers should be educated on avoidance measures and self-help where possible. Understanding of the condition leads to better treatment compliance, particularly pre-seasonally, through the season and to better management while abroad.
