Abstract

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is the most common allergic disorder and its prevalence is still increasing. Before using the ARIA guidelines, about one third of patients with moderately severe / severe symptoms despite therapy had severe symptoms. The ARIA guidelines define AR as an inflammatory disease. Treatment of AR implies accurate assessment of disease severity, and any relationship of AR and asthma should be evaluated. Intranasal corticosteroids (ICS) are the most effective drugs in the treatment of AR with minimal risk of systemic side effects. ICS can be the first treatment option in all forms of AR because they treat all the symptoms of AR.
