Diagnostic methods and management of allergic rhinitis

We review herein the diagnosis and treatment of AR, including recent update of AR. A literature search for management of allergic rhinitis was performed in December, of 2017 through the MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase Databases. We searched with this method to be able to identified relevant articles pertaining to AR management. An intranasal glucocorticoid to be used on a continuous basis must be suggested. Integrating a nasal antihistamine with an intranasal glucocorticoid might provide additive impacts. In cases where pharmacotherapy is inefficient or otherwise appropriate to the patient, allergen-specific immunotherapy should be used. Two types of allergen immunotherapy are currently available: subcutaneous injections and rapidly dissolving sublingual tablets, the latter limited to the therapy of grass and ragweed allergy. Both kinds of therapy typically give sustained efficacy after the cessation of treatment.
