- Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a clinically defined disorder of the nose characterized by symptoms triggered by allergen exposure, leading to an IgE-mediated inflammation. It is a global health problem affecting up to 50% of the world's population, with symptoms extending beyond nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and itching, impacting productivity, school performance, sleep, and quality of life (QoL). Untreated AR can result in multimorbidity, linking with conditions such as asthma, rhinosinusitis, adenoid hypertrophy, otitis media, dysphonia, laryngopharyngeal reflux, OSA, and migraine. ARIA classifies AR into intermittent or persistent and mild or moderate-severe, recommending management approaches including allergen avoidance, antihistamines, intranasal steroids, immunotherapy, and surgical interventions. This presentation focuses on nasal irrigation and rupatadine, a non-sedating antihistamine with antiplatelet activating factor properties, aiming to improve QoL and safety for AR patients.
