Overview
Rhinitis has significant impacts on the quality of life and productivity of the affected individual. Allergic rhinitis, which is the most common type of chronic rhinitis, is frequently underdiagnosed, mistreated, or sometimes ignored.[1] Effective management of rhinitis improves the quality of life, and control of coexisting conditions such as asthma and conjunctivitis.[2] Accurately diagnosing rhinitis by taking a careful history and physical examination, is important in order to ensure a timely intervention.[3]
